Thanks to all for replying. Finding this DNS Expert is probably one of the best tools that I have been pointed to. Well Worth the investment it looks like. I have already found and corrected several screw ups on my part (Not an experienced DNS admin). Thanks, Eric -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of Eric Walters Sent: Thursday, January 04, 2001 5:13 PM To: Freebsd-Isp (E-mail) Subject: Strange DNS issue I have a system running 4.0 stable with Bind 8.2.2 and I have been experiencing some strange problems with other Internet DNS servers not being able to properly resolve hosts on my DNS server. Scenario: I have mail.xyz.com, www.xyz.com, host.xyz.com as A records in my zone files. Very sporadically I get a call from someone saying that they cannot get to www.xyz.com. I have them ping around and they can ping mail and host, but www comes back with unknown host. If I have them do an nslookup and change to another DNS server out on the net, it works. A short while later the problem will resolve itself. The system running DNS is a little Pentium 75 and has 64mb ram. I do not have it doing anything else except DNS. I don't think the performance of the machine is causing the problem, but am not sure. There are no errors in the logs to indicate what the problem might be. Any clues?
