Well, in a sense you already blocked the IP address, named refused to
update the zone, but the real problem is it's insisting on logging lots of
complaints about it....

Allthough you can tell named to stop complaining about bad xfers, as far
as i can tell you can only tell it to stop complaining about *all* of
them, which might not be all that good a thing...

I suspect using ipchains or such might be a better solution...

(I'm noticing cobalt has almost no variations from the defaults in
named.conf :(

guessing a bit....

:named.conf:
logging {
	channel null {null;};
	catagory xfer-in {null;};
	};

options...(existing) note logging has to be the first thing in the file)
