This morning our server started failing to reload or start. checking the status reveals not a lot of info:

Nov 04 11:55:17 elixir systemd[1]: Failed to start Berkeley Internet Name Domain (DNS). We have one dynamically updated zone and only three other zone files that have been updated today and named-checkzone says they’re ok. I'm guessing it’s the zone file after the last successfully loaded one, but we have a LOT of zone files; is there a particular order in which they’re loaded at startup? I’ve made no changed to named.conf or anything else on this server. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list ISC funds the development of this software with paid support subscriptions.
