Package: bind9 Version: 1:9.7.0.dfsg.P1-1 Severity: wishlist This bug is somewhat related to bug #492901
Please suppress the "resolver" log category, on the grounds that it spams the system log a great deal, and just like "edns-disabled" and "lame-servers", refers to issues completely outside of the hability of the local nameserver operator to fix, AND extremely unlikely to get fixed even if reported. Without it, one gets a hundred thousand log lines like this: DNS format error from 174.120.152.195#53 resolving <zone withheld>/NS for client 127.0.0.1#3643: invalid response and this: DNS format error from 209.132.180.67#53 resolving zeus2.kernel.org/A: sideways referral in any moderately busy DNS recursive server/cache. Sideway referals are very common practice in the ARIN region, most people either don't care, or don't even understand that they introduce undue latency. Even clueful admins like the kernel.org people use them. I bet we have some of that in debian.org/debian.net as well. As for the invalid response, a very common cause for that are broken load-balancer setups. Just like the ECN IP functionality, tracking this is a lost cause that will fix itself in a couple decades and will resist any efforts to accelerate the process (unless, say, someone from the top tier like Google decides to use a massive large hammer and face lawsuits over it). -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32.15 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages bind9 depends on: ii adduser 3.112 add and remove users and groups ii bind9utils 1:9.7.0.dfsg.P1-1 Utilities for BIND ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.32 Debian configuration management sy ii libbind9-60 1:9.7.0.dfsg.P1-1 BIND9 Shared Library used by BIND ii libc6 2.10.2-9 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcap2 1:2.17-2 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libdb4.8 4.8.26-1 Berkeley v4.8 Database Libraries [ ii libdns64 1:9.7.0.dfsg.P1-1 DNS Shared Library used by BIND ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.8.1+dfsg-3 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries - k ii libisc60 1:9.7.0.dfsg.P1-1 ISC Shared Library used by BIND ii libisccc60 1:9.7.0.dfsg.P1-1 Command Channel Library used by BI ii libisccfg60 1:9.7.0.dfsg.P1-1 Config File Handling Library used ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.17-2.1 OpenLDAP libraries ii liblwres60 1:9.7.0.dfsg.P1-1 Lightweight Resolver Library used ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8n-1 SSL shared libraries ii libxml2 2.7.7.dfsg-2 GNOME XML library ii lsb-base 3.2-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii net-tools 1.60-23 The NET-3 networking toolkit ii netbase 4.41 Basic TCP/IP networking system bind9 recommends no packages.
