dhclient: Can't update forward map bogus ... timed out

[Noah]

HI List Folk,

I recently added firewall filters to my home linux box, and now I am
experiencing named errors.  I am running DDNS that sends out updates for 
my dynamically assigned IP address for the router/linux box at the edge 
of my home network.  It appears that those updates periodically time 
out.  I can telnet from the linux box to port 53 of the DNS server just 
fine.

It appears that the logging on the server  side is not working as well. 
  syslog is certainly running on the machine.  I have directory 
permissions set correctly.

here is my configuration:

--- logging configuration ---

logging {
    channel simple_log {
        file "/var/log/named/bind.log" versions 3 size 5m;
        severity warning;
        print-time yes;
        print-severity yes;
        print-category yes;
    };
    category default{
        simple_log;
    };

    category dnssec   { security_log; };
    category update   { security_log; };
    category security { security_log; };

    channel security_log {
        file "/var/log/named/dns-security.log" versions 5 size 20m;
        print-time yes;
        print-category yes;
        print-severity yes;
        severity info;
    };
};
