Does it matter? Two of the servers happened to have root NS records cached. You could verify this with rndc dumpdb -cache. The other two servers, apparently, had no root NS records cached.

But if the client is just a stub resolver, or set up to forward, it doesn't care about the NS records in the Authority Section. It only cares about the Answer, which is the same in both cases.

I have 4 bind cache servers running with config close to what is listed at the bottom of this post.

All 4 servers have identical bind configuration, running same bind version (9.5.1-P1), almost identical system layouts.

The issue is that on two of the four servers, requests for records in the 'dnsbl' zone return root hints if the forwarded request comes back positive! If the forwarded request returns NXDOMAIN there are no root hints returned, expected as it is configured 'forward only'.


Am I missing something obvious or anyone have an idea what might be going on? Again, the configs _are_ the same, I don't have any other options like minimal-responses etc set on the two servers that are working as expected!
