Aside from the NS issue the problem was def related to having an 6to4 ipv6 address on the eth0 interface of my name server. Once I removed that ipv6 ip all is working well.
Which leaves me with some questions, Does bind try on an ipv6 addr 1st? I suspect it does. The name servers for the domain below on the whois are ns2/ns1/gis.net so I should have been querying those servers which don't have ipv6 addr however they have an NS record in the zone pointing to mns01.domaincontrol.com which has an ipv6 addr but it's not listed on the whois output. Basically im not sure why my queries for kingstonmass.org where being sourced from an ipv6. ;; ANSWER SECTION: kingstonmass.org. 3387 IN NS ns2.gis.net. kingstonmass.org. 3387 IN NS ns1.gis.net. kingstonmass.org. 3387 IN NS mns01.domaincontrol.com. ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION: mns01.domaincontrol.com. 67665 IN A 216.69.185.34 mns01.domaincontrol.com. 67665 IN AAAA 2607:f208:206::22 thanks Paul -----Original Message----- From: bind-users-bounces+pamaral=meganet....@lists.isc.org [mailto:bind-users-bounces+pamaral=meganet....@lists.isc.org] On Behalf Of SM Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2012 1:14 PM To: bind-us...@isc.org Subject: Re: query issue At 08:45 29-03-2012, Anand Buddhdev wrote: >I also note that kingstonmass.org has delegation to 2 name servers in >the ORG zone, but 3 name servers at its apex.
