While I was out sick a coworker hand edited a zone with dyanamic updates. When I got back the server returned SERVFAIL for any queries to it. I didn't know yet that it had been hand edited, so I did an rndc freeze to look at the zone file, which claimed to have succeeded, but didn't remove the journal file, so I wasn't sure it had. I wasn't able to thaw the zone (rndc: 'thaw' failed: out of range) so I removed the zone file and the journal file and replaced them with an AXFR of the zone from a slave server. It all seemed to work. I learned about the hand edit later when I asked around what had happened.
What I want to know now: is there a better solution to that problem than what I did? Better practices for fixing that which I could have followed? --Schlake Sysadmin IV, NRAO Work: 575-835-7281 (BACK IN THE OFFICE!)
