[tor-relays] Tor flood symptom?

My relay that has been running release 0.2.4.17-rc for several day now
has become saturated with what I would consider 'noise' - namely a huge
amount of handshake activity.  It does respond downward to lowereing the
bandwidth setting, but the bandwidth graph is nearly flat.  Now I have
just noticed two crypto errors in the message log. 

Sep 23 14:17:32.902 [Notice] Circuit handshake stats since last time:
224326/224887 TAP, 40/40 NTor.

Sep 23 17:36:03.829 [Notice] eventdns: Nameserver 192.168.1.254:53 is

Is this acceptable or should I report this to bugzilla?

David?
