Not exact indicates that the nameserver found a change in a IXFR delta which it could not apply to the cleanly. It got asked to remove a record which didn't exist. It got asked to add a record that already existed. The TTL of the added record doesn't match that of the existing records of the RRset. If named detects a anomally like this it just re-transfers the zone. The following bug fix address one potential cause of these messages. The fix is currentl available in the following release: 9.6.3, 9.7.3 and 9.8.0. 3007. [bug] Named failed to preserve the case of domain names in rdata which is not compressible when writing master files.
