No, and also note the your rate-limit {} stanza could be either in your options {} statement, or in a view {} statement. The latter replaces rather than supplements what you have in options. > The other day, I got reports some service is getting intermittent > lookup failures for our ldap server. > > Why these appliances have to query DNS servers many times per > second to get the address of a record with a TTL of 1 day.... Do you have them directly querying authoritative nameservers? Your workaround, perhaps, is to have caching-only servers between your appliances and your authoritative servers. > In looking at the logs, I saw messages about rate-limit of various > subnets. (but, only for the busiest 2 of 8 caching servers) RRL should only be used on authoritative servers. Are you saying you saw such logs from a named instance without a rate-limit stanza? Indeed, that should not be so. > Starting when I first updated to 9.9.4-P1.

There's also "log-only yes;" you might try. -- http://rob0.nodns4.us/ Offlist GMX mail is seen only if "/dev/rob0" is in the Subject: _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
