A person wrote me off list to say that it worked for them. I went to a different FreeBSD platform that happens to be the actual one that hosts our DNS and tried it there and it worked perfectly. I even verified that it is in the zone.
So, what we have is a broken system on the one I usually use: $ host -tspf posse.okstate.edu host: invalid type: spf On the other system: $ host -tspf posse.okstate.edu posse.okstate.edu has SPF record "v=spf1 ip4:209.235.101.208/29 -all" The problem system had an old nsupdate from bind9.3 from February 13 of 2007 and an old host utility from the same date. Both have been completely removed so they are not an issue but nothing has changed. The host and nsupdate utilities were built along with bind95.1P2 on July 10 so they are fresh. Any other ideas as to what to look at? Thank you.
