Hi all !

A few months ago I reported problems with the name daemon on
a 2.1.0-R machine. But -- except from someone having the same
problem -- I got no answer. I know that it is difficult to
reproduce. However, I think it would be nice to find out whether
I did a configuration error or there is a bug in named.
Therefore, I will let named in this state for the time being.

It started today at 19:19.

Nov 23 19:19:30 server named[68]: ns_req: no address for root server
Nov 23 19:19:30 server named[68]: ns_req: no address for root server
[..]
Nov 23 19:53:07 server named[68]: ns_req: no address for root server
Nov 23 19:53:16 server last message repeated 3 times
Nov 23 20:07:48 server named[68]: ns_req: no address for root server

20:13 server: /root 0#% uptime
 8:14PM  up 10 days, 19:05, 1 user, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

It serves as:

primary         dekanat-bio.ruhr-uni-bochum.de  named.hosts
secondary       133.147.134.in-addr.arpa        134.147.32.40 named.rev
[..]
forwarders      134.147.222.4 134.147.32.40


As an example a few working and non-working requests:

20:14 server: /root 0#% nslookup gluon.mep.ruhr-uni-bochum.de
Server:  server.dekanat-bio.ruhr-uni-bochum.de
Address:  134.147.133.33

*** server.dekanat-bio.ruhr-uni-bochum.de can't find gluon.mep.ruhr-uni-bochum.de: Server failed
20:15 server: /root 0#% nslookup gluon.mep.ruhr-uni-bochum.de 134.147.32.40
Server:  ns1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de
Address:  134.147.32.40

Name:    gluon.mep.ruhr-uni-bochum.de
Addresses:  134.147.6.1, 134.147.160.165
20:15 server: /root 0#% nslookup 134.147.32.40
Server:  server.dekanat-bio.ruhr-uni-bochum.de
Address:  134.147.133.33

*** server.dekanat-bio.ruhr-uni-bochum.de can't find 134.147.32.40: Server failed
20:16 server: /root 0#% nslookup ns1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de
Server:  server.dekanat-bio.ruhr-uni-bochum.de
Address:  134.147.133.33

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    ns1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de
Address:  134.147.32.40


It seems to be a problem with cache inconsistencies and the update
intervalls of this and the primary server for the 133.147.134.in-addr.arpa
domain in the computer center.

May be someone can give me a hint what to try to locate the cause and/or
to fix it.
(The problem goes away when I kill and restart the daemon.
 reload does not help.)

Thanks,
