Sorry for the bump here, but through extensive troubleshooting I've identified a trend in this. It appears that zones hosted on the lower-numbered masters are still updating without issue. This leads me to believe that something is causing BIND to forget the later cluster servers, as the logs

Hey Steve, thanks for the reply. Here's the top of one of the masters' named.conf files (they're all the same, with the exception of which zones are on them: controls { inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndc-key; }; }; include /etc/rndc.key; logging{ channel simple_log {

- Original Message - I think that's what you asked for. In case I misunderstood, here's a zone entry from the slave's named.conf (this immediately follows the options block in my first email: zone example.com { type slave; file /var/named/slaves/example.com.db; masters {

That's certainly disconcerting (and diverges from the behavior we continue to see with BIND 9.3). Is there any reason these updates would work without issue immediately after a restart but stop working at some point later? As you can see in the logs I provided in my initial post (relevant lines

Hi all, I've recently upgraded from a CentOS5 install of BIND 9 (bind-9.3.6-20.P1.el5_8.6) to a CentOS6 install (bind-9.8.2-0.17.rc1.el6_4.4.x86_64) for one of my two nameservers. The config I'm using is nearly identical (added rate limiting only) and the server that has not yet been updated is
