-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 There are a few things that could cause this:
1. TTL in the zone 2. If this is replication to slave, then the changes from the master aren't transferring to the slave. 3. Are you incrementing the serial on the zone? If not then the changes will NEVER transfer to the slave. Pull out dig and if you can dig the domain from the system that is having the error. You may find that the zone is not as it should be on the slave, even though it resolves. When the master is down the slave should be queried automatically as long as the changes are propagated to the root servers and your local DNS.Once the master is back up try digging the master and slave to see if things are appropriate: dig MX @primary.dns.com hostname dig MX @secondary.dns.com hostname Do these match? Does your syslog show the changes being transferred to the slave? Bryan Nelson Serafica wrote: | I'm using bind 9.5.0-P1. I host some domain.
