greetings,

i'm in the midst of an odd problem (to me, anyway) and would appreciate any pointers.

three servers, all running bind-9.7.2-P3 compiled from source with the same options. one master; two slaves. two views: internal and external. one master and one slave are on the same subnet with just a switch between 'em; the other slave is on a different subnet "out on the internet".

i'm wanting to have both views for all zones transferred to both slaves. i've set things up with tsig and per mark andrews' great scheme documented at http://www.mail-archive.com/bind-users@lists.isc.org/msg03593.html

transfers from the master to the slave on its same subnet happen as desired; transfers from the master to the slave on the different subnet do not.

notify logging shows that the notifies are being properly received by both slaves.

my master zone definitions specify also-notify for both slaves. each slave zone definition specifies a masters statement.

what i've observed (initially because of a typo and quite by chance) is that the transfer to the slave on the internet does not happen if the host specified in the SOA's MNAME field is also specified in an NS record.

but if the host specified in the SOA's MNAME field is not an NS record then the transfer does complete. and therein lies the problem.

i've intentionally not posted my config, thinking someone might recognize this off the top of their head. i will certainly post it if necessary.

thanks,

jeffreyp
