I have a system running BIND 9.18.17 that needs to transfer a zone from
djbdns/axfrdns. I receive FORMERRs, and haven't been able to get any log
messages indicating the problem.
xfer-in: info: zone example.net/IN: Transfer started.
xfer-in: info: transfer of 'example.net/IN' from 198.51.100.1#53:
connected using 192.0.2.1#53
xfer-in: error: transfer of 'example.net/IN' from 198.51.100.1#53:
failed while receiving responses: FORMERR
xfer-in: info: transfer of 'example.net/IN' from 198.51.100.1#53:
Transfer status: FORMERR
xfer-in: info: transfer of 'example.net/IN' from 198.51.100.1#53:
Transfer completed: 0 messages, 0 records, 0 bytes, 0.008 secs (0
bytes/sec) (serial 0)
This replaced a long obsolete system running 9.8.2 that was able to
successfully transfer the zone. I can also successfully transfer the
zone with `dig -t axfr ...` from the new system, which gives no errors.
named-checkzone on the resulting data also gives no errors, and BIND is
able to successfully load it as a primary.
How do I go about finding the cause of the FORMERR and resolve it?
