Mark,

I also do "ixfr-from-differences" and this might be the reason I will now dig more into this.

Thanks Mark for the clue.

You don't necessarily have to get rid of the cron job to keep journal files.

"ixfr-from-differences" is intentionally designed to allow you to arbitrarily 
replace the zone file and yet continue to keep your .jnl files.

However, I too have run into rollforward errors with my use of 
"ixfr-from-differences" and overwriting the zone file.  It has to do with how 
updates are processed and changes written to the journal.  I have a bug open with ISC and 
they're working on it.

It's a very serious issue for us because it takes zones completely offline, 
which is not acceptable in a production setting.

TL;DR: Be careful with ixfr-from-differences and make sure you're not getting 
"rollforward" errors.

Figure out why you're getting a journal file. If you need to have a journal 
file (i.e. you need whatever mechanism caused it to be created), then you have 
to get rid of your cron job, or modify how it works. Arbitrarily replacing a 
zone file when there's a journal file can cause exactly the problem you're 
seeing.

Hi,

I have observer a SERVFAIL error in one of my zone.On checking the logs
I realized there is this error

/journal rollforward failed: journal out of sync with zone/

I tried to learn more about it and I found out the solution is to delete
the journal file and restart bind.I tried that and it works.Now I wonder
what is the reason for such error and what the permanent solution to
mitigate it.
Did you or someone else edit the zone file by hand, without "freeze"/"thaw" the 
zone first?
