I'm just working up to rebuilding my system - currently RH4.2 with
diald-0.16-patch4 to
be RedHat 5.1 with diald-0.16-patch5.

I've found a pointer to the patch 5 on ftp.loonie.net, but there's some
sort of DNS problem out there.

a)      Name Server for loonie.net @ 204.244.59.248 shows ftp.loonie.net as a
CNAME for alfred.loonie.net, but there's no A record for alfred visible
anywhere.

b)      Name Server for loonie.net @ 204.244.59.246 refuses all DNS enquiries
- even though its listed in the NS record list for loonie.net.

Can I find just the source code patch anywhere else????


The problem deepens, as the Root DNS servers disagree in the glue
records with the zones NS records. The A records for the name servers
don't match either. 
The SOA serial no. appears to show that the zone hasn't changed since
early June, so I can only
imagine the fault has been sat there for over 2 months....

There is something deeply wrong here. See the digs below...
