tcpdump?


I took a cache dump on our DNS and 2 out of 5 nameserver IPs appear in "Unassociated 
entries" when the problem happens.


anything more isble in the cache?

last time I have encountered this error, it was problematic Cisco DNS load
balancer, responding NXDOMAIN to a PTR (and possibly other) type queries,
while standard types returned proper answer.

Yep, mostly waiting for replies that will never come, which doesn't
require much CPU.


Is there anything that the networking team can do to help alleviate some 
of the pain?  I.e. make sure that equipment returns no route to host 
error messages?  Will this make named abort queries before they would 
otherwise timeout?

In the case of dynamic updates, one NS record might actually be
better: there's no worrying about update forwarding between slave and
master.


It's been my painful experience that (particularly Windows) clients send 
dynamic DNS updates to the MNAME listed in the SOA, /NOT/ necessarily 
any of the listed NS.  (Unless the MNAME happens to be listed as an NS.)


As such, I don't see any confusion over which of multiple NS dynamic 
updates are sent to.


Further, I'd argue that slave NS should be configured to forward updates 
to the master (ultimately MNAME).

Or using "forward first;" rather that "forward only;" and falling back to
the Internet and getting NXDOMAIN there.
