My employer experienced this problem -- I thought it was related to the cashe clearing problem in 4.9.4 on some platforms and upgraded to 4.9.4P1 (FreeBSD 2.1.0) -- which appears to have solved the problem for us. info-sys.home.vix.com:/pub/bind/release/4.9.4/bind-4.9.4-P1.tar.gz Not sure if it -really- fixes the problem or if we've been lucky since. -M Michael Brian Scher (MS683) | Anthropologist, Attorney, Part-Time Guru http://www.tezcat.com/~strange/ | strange@cultural.com strange@tezcat.com | mbscher@midway.uchicago.edu I'm a legal anthropologist; what's an illegal anthropologist?
