Disabling things so the log messages stop and you can pretend all the 
brokenness has magically gone away is indeed the easiest solution 
sometimes.  It's rarely a good one, particularly for the long term. 
Anyway, the OP actually uses IPv6 on his network, so this is pretty much 
akin to suggesting that he turn off his computer to keep people from 
bothering it.

The log messages are from his DNS server; he uses it for resolving and 
some local stuff; the log entries are the result of queries from random 
machines being rejected; random machines are doing that since at least 
one of his parent nameservers is handing out the IPv6 address of his 
server against his wishes; eventually he'll realize this is actually the 
case; and maybe he'll be able to convince whomever runs the parent 
nameserver(s) to update the records for his zone.  (Just to cover the 
rest of your questions. :-)
