I found some older bugs. This type of issue was fixed at least once before, but there is still apparently a similar issue that remains unresolved: Fixed 5/2011: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623122 Duplicate: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=768702 Reported 9/2012, closed due to insufficient data: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=853714 _______________________________________________ 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
