Hello,

I can also confirm this for BIND 9.5.0-P2 for DNSSec enabled resolvers using DLV (an ISP environment, arout 500-600 queries per second according to BIND query log).

After several hours of operation, the server stopped answering on certain cached records in signed zones (no packets came back) in irregular intervals.

After downgrading to 9.4.3, the problems were resolved, works without any hassles.

I did not try the latest 9.5.1 version, however.

The DNS is recursive and the domain it stop answer for is always .se domains. 
Is there any DNSSEC issue in 9.5 that is broken maybe? The zones it dont answer 
for isn't signed by .SE but? When the server stop answer correct it look up 
other zones correct and after a restart it works ok again.

Short answer: yes, probably.

We have experienced the same issue, also with .se domains.  It seems to be
related to a cache management issue and JINMEI Tatuya of ISC agrees (cf. his
reply on my post "Re: Frequent SERVFAIL: "nameservers now above QDOMAIN" (BIND
9.5.0-P2)" <http://marc.info/?l=bind-users&m=122239920822324&w=2>).

Restarting the DNS server solves the problem because it also flushes the cache
(as a side-effect).

Until the problematic code is fixed in BIND 9.5 we've downgraded to 9.4.  It
hasn't been running long enough to be completely sure the problem has gone away
though, but we're hopeful :-)


Kind regards
