1. Zone has expired (to confirm: check logs)
2. Corrupted/truncated journal file (to confirm: check logs, or, shut down gracefully, delete journal and start up again) 3. www.blah.com is a delegation in your slave copy of the zone, and the delegated nameservers are all returning SERVFAIL, are lame, give bogus answers, some combination of the above, etc. (to confirm: do the lookup non-recursively, or a zone transfer of blah.com; if www.blah.com shows as a delegation, query the delegated nameservers directly and see what they return)

I'm troubleshooting an issue with internal resolution of a domain. I
have 2 identical slave servers that resolve for domains that have been

the network gurus to verify there is not a possibility of a firewall or
IPS rule causing the issue, but came back empty-handed.

Here's the breakdown (please don't laugh at the antiques...):

Sun V210's running Solaris 5.8
BIND 9.5.1-P3

...
zone "blah.com" {
         type slave;
         file "/slave/db.blah.com";
         masters { 10.xxx.xxx.xxx; };
         allow-transfer { none; };
         allow-query { "all-clients"; };
};
...

# Query local server (one with issues) fails
$ dig www.blah.com.

Any ideas to point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
