            Dear,

            I'm having trouble resolving domain name freebsd.org

            the site according to the following tests:

            Only the first address I'm having name resolution
            (ec2-sa-east-1.portsnap.
            freebsd.org <http://freebsd.org>).

            My block IP: 186.193.48.0/20 <http://186.193.48.0/20>

            One could check for any restrictions on our IP block?

            I think a bit of DNS debugging is in order.

        I could resolve all of the nodes you listed, but there are
        some potential
        issues I see. First, when looking up  hostname with host(1),
        always
        terminate the name:

            host -a freebsd.org <http://freebsd.org>.

        But "ANY" queries are fuzzy things at best as the first
        resolver you hit
        will just return whatever is cached and not try getting an
        authoritative
        response.

        www.freebsd.org <http://www.freebsd.org> and vuxml.freebsd.org
        <http://vuxml.freebsd.org> are CNAME entries pointing to the
        same place, 8.8.178.110. This is in FreeBSD's own address
        space from Yahoo
        nd is probably in the mail FreeBSD cluster. I was a bit
        surprised to find
        that is is an Amazon AWS address, so the portsnap files are
        actually coming
        from a totally different place.

        DNS is provided by ISC-SNS. 72.52.71.1, 38.103.2.1 and
        63.243.194.1. Try
        pinging these. Since BIND, the second oldest and most popular
        DNS server is
        written and supported by ISA, I would think that it is well
        run. Try
        pinging and tracing to these addresses. All of them are in
        very dispersed
        locations on different provider backbones. (Cogent, Hurricane
        Electric, and
        ISC, itself. You might try directing queries to each system to
        see if one
        fails when other succeed. Use "dig @servr-addr host".

So this server did return the requested information. You should really use dig(1) for debugging. It provides more information like whether the AA bit is set, DNSSEC data, etc.

Hi Kevin,
I am still unsure why you are issuing ANY queries, though. If you want details, use "host -v". Since you are querying an authoritative resolver, you are not dependent on what is in cache, but the UDP reply is over 2K that is truncated and the query is re-issued via TCP. This means that the behavior is entirely different than a query for just address information.

Free access to the service ports 53/tcp and 53/udp.
Another thing I noticed was that it started to happen after I updated the bind (ports).

Once your resolvers have cached the NS records, they should directly query the servers shown and not walk the full tree. From the NXDOMAIN replies, it looks like some system is lying about things. I'm going to guess that system is incorrectly responding with NXDOMAIN when some other error is occurring. That system is probably close to you. Try:
# dig freebsd.org <http://freebsd.org>.
# dig freebsd.org.

That will do a standard query to what ever recursive resolver you normally use. It will, hopefully, point at the culprit. It is also possible that it is a firewall issue, where some security software is sending a NXDOMAIN server to prevent further queries. This is only a guess, but there are a limited number of places where the problem might be generated and experience tells me it is almost certainly close to your system.
I am suspicious that it's some recent filter due to last vulnerability of bind. It could not be?
