Hija,
I finally found the cause of the error! As soon as I stop slaving the root-zones and instead use the (configured or compiled-in) hint-file, the error stops. The actual error-condition (zone is not loaded) then becomes obvious, because this RFC-5011 action happens very early, before any zones are loaded. And with slaved root-zones instead of a hint-file, the root zone has to be loaded like the others. So the flaw is in the initialization sequence. I don't really see why we would need to do this RFC-5011 so early. As matters are, it now is failed, postponed, and run an hour later successfully, and things should work just as well. So You may now fix the issue, or just continue to spamblock the bugreports (which is a great scheme to get error-free software, btw). cheerio, PMc _______________________________________________ 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.
