I am runnign current on my FreeBSD system (10/18).  I am using the machine
as a primary name server for the local network.  Ever since bind was updated
to 4.9.4?? one of the other computers on the network could not use it as
a nameserver.  The other computer is a DECstation 5k running Ultrix 4.4.

nslookup comes back with messages like:

*** Can't find server name for address 10.10.10.12: Query refused
*** Default servers are not available


And in the named debug file, I get:

datagram from [198.82.200.88].1539, fd 5, len 27; now Sun Oct 20 17:10:33 1996
ns_req: answer -> [198.82.200.88].1539 fd=5 id=1 size=27 Local


The funny thing is DNS lookups (gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr) seem to work
fine.  nsquery seems to work as well.  If I set the name server to be
one of the FreeBSD stable machines everything works fine (old bind).

Any idea why the new bind would cause the resolver to fail on an old Ultrix
machine??
