of wrapping our serials round from MMDDNN style to seconds-since-1970, the stealth-slaving Windows DNS servers of that time (even the 2008 ilk) just could not cope, and went into a tizzy continuously trying to fetch the zones and then rejecting them for their "smaller" serials.

different process: instead of "rndc reload" after updaing some of the zone files, I loop through the list of updated zone files and run "rndc reload " for each one. This is better, of course, if you can do it. -- Chris Thompson Email: c...@cam.ac.uk

the SERVFAILs no longer occur. I think this may indicate that the data structure in managed-keys.bind cannot quite capture all the complexities of RFC 5011. The BIND version used in the later part of this experiment was (early-access) 9.8.2rc2 but I doubt that is particularly sign

correct? AFAIK 'rndc flush' will do the same. If you know the domain name in question, "rndc flushname ghost.example" should be enough. (BIND 9.9 has "rndc flushtree" as well, but I think clobbering the cached NS records for the ghost domain should be enough

pears, not just the query log ones. But it does look mighty strange in that case. And maybe people will want the class and type (and even flags) of the query added in the general case, which would sort of reduce the query log specific info to just "it happened". -- Chris Thompson E
