I wasn't going to post all of this to the full list but I'm hurting for
a solution right now so I will.
Unfortunately I can't hand it out unmodified. I don't want the acls
known for one thing. Here's what I'm using on the master. The slave is
a near mirror copy only it includes files that loads slave versions of
the config for each zone.

I include a number of additional conf files in the config.
default-zones.conf has localhost, localdomains, 127/8 in-addr.arpa, etc.
skt-forward-master.conf has the forward lookup zones and reverse has
the rDNS zones. Here's a snapshot of the forward (which appears to be
working ok at this time):
zone "brdadsl.sktc.net" {
type master;
allow-transfer { skt-ns; };
file "skt/skt-zones/brdadsl.sktc.net.master";
};
zone "brdcable.sktc.net" {
type master;
allow-transfer { skt-ns; };
file "skt/skt-zones/brdcable.sktc.net.master";
};
It's just a long list of zones being loaded like that. Here's a small
snapshot of the rDNS zones' config:
zone "64.71.96" {
type master;
allow-transfer { skt-ns; };
file "skt/skt-zones/in-addr.arpa/64.71.96.master";
};
zone "64.71.97" {
type master;
allow-transfer { skt-ns; };
file "skt/skt-zones/in-addr.arpa/64.71.97.master";
};
zone "64.71.98" {
type master;
allow-transfer { skt-ns; };
file "skt/skt-zones/in-addr.arpa/64.71.98.master";
};
It's basically the same too. I don't see any glaring mistakes in my
in-addr.arpa zones either. I found and fixed a few typos this morning
but nothing severe enough to keep bind from loading. Here's the zone
that contains the servers I'm doing the testing from:

Pretty basic stuff. The MTA in question is a Barracuda spam filter so I
don't have much of any details on it (other than that it's a POS). It's
not a Cuda problem though. That Nagios SMTP check on the Cuda was just
the thing that clued me in that there was a problem. rDNS is affecting
everything, not just this one box. We have a Hosted Exchange
environment that is affected plus all our customer-run MTAs. If it
wouldn't take so long to process I'd have ARIN switch the records back.
I didn't anticipate a problem with rDNS since all the forward lookups
were working so well for all these months on the same servers. rDNS
never appeared be having any problems.
I also gathered some debugging info. Here's the pertinent output of a
query from the NS itself to the NS for 64.71.97.18:

To be honest I'm not exactly sure what most of this means. I'm not
familiar with the innards of bind.
Any ideas? I can't find anything wrong in my zone files or my config.
I must be missing something though. All rDNS queries result in a
SERVFAIL error.
Thanks
Justin
