Hi, Can you provide your named.conf?
9.21.15 introduces a new rndc command `showconf -effective`. The output of this command would be useful.

Hi. Looking at the dig flags it suggests you changed your config. In the first example the flags are qr (query), rd (recursion desired) ra (recursion available) In the second, ra is missing and dig tells you that explicitly: ;; WARNING: recursion requested but not available Since the digs were to your local resolver, I think something must have changed in your config. The default for "recursion" hasn't changed; it's still "yes". Did you set it to "no"? Hope that helps.
