There'll be a new KB FAQ published on this early next week (https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-00765). Preview is that it will say something like this: What does named log message "deleted from unreachable cache" mean? An example of the messages being logged is: 02-Aug-2012 07:58:20.601 general: info: master 192.0.2.4#53 (source 192.0.2.8#0) deleted from unreachable cache BIND maintains a cache of unreachable masters to which it refers when handling a zone refresh. If a zone refresh fails with a specific master (either during the query for the SOA or after querying and while attempting a subsequent zone transfer), then this master is cached as 'unreachable' for 10 minutes. As of versions 9.6-ESV-R6, 9.7.5, 9.8.2 and 9.9.0 onwards, the change below implements an earlier removal of a master server from the unreachable cache if a notify is received from it. Note that receipt of a notify (which is a UDP packet travelling from master to slave) doesn't guarantee that the master will be reachable from the slave, but it does ensure quicker recovery in the situation where a master was temporarily unavailable, for example for a reboot. This is the relevant info from the Release Notes: Master servers that had previously been marked as unreachable because of failed zone transfer attempts will now be removed from the "unreachable" list (i.e. considered reachable again) if the slave receives a NOTIFY message from them. [RT #25960] In the CHANGES file, it is described thus: 3204. [bug] When a master server that has been marked as unreachable sends a NOTIFY, mark it reachable again.
