I took the easy way out, and turned on query logging in my local caching nameserver (since that also helps to see exactly what the load is on the nameserver, the point of this bug, really). This is what I see: Dec 16 00:07:27 hadrian named[17102]: client 127.0.0.1#41145: query: mx1.hotmail.com IN AAAA Dec 16 00:07:27 hadrian named[17102]: client 127.0.0.1#41145: query: mx1.hotmail.com.lobefin.net IN AAAA Dec 16 00:07:27 hadrian named[17102]: client 127.0.0.1#41145: query: mx1.hotmail.com IN A [ followed by normal PTR lookups for the records returned ] Which is exactly what it should be. This is a sarge system. Maybe you didn't notice that the extra lookups were IPv6? IIRC woody didn't have a working IPv6 stack out of the box, so this would explain the behavior you're seeing. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
