I just turned on the dnssec-validation today, and I saw lots of messages:

Is this a problem with dnssec on my DNS server?

Did you build BIND yourself? When BIND starts does it log anything like: "--with-randomdev=<something>"? What operating system, etc? You haven't really provided very much useful information in your question...

DNSSEC needs entropy for signing -- it believes that your system does not provide a useful source of entropy (do you have a /dev/random?) and so it want you to add some. This is not a BIND problem, it is an OS (or more likely configuration issue).
