Personally, leave them.  You may need to read the messages someday.

In /etc/hosts.conf , say that you have a nameserver running.

order hosts,bind
multi on

(this is default)

And in /etc/resolv.conf , list localhost as a nameserver

nameserver 127.0.0.1
search lcs.org.au humbug.org.au

And finally, in /etc/named.boot (or wherever your distribution puts it),
secondary the Humbug domain, and either secondary or primary the
lcs.org.au domain (no such domain btw)

secondary humbug.org.au 203.17.162.7 sec.humbug.org.au
secondary lcs.org.au primary.lcs.nameserver.ip sec.lcs.org.au
       or
primary lcs.org.au db.lcs.org.au

Of course, you are running named at boot time?

primary it then.
