Hmmm, I don't think this is it. The TTL from the root sites is 7 days, with a serial 19960607000. The TTL from named.root or the cache is ~41 days, but starting when? If it's the time when named was started, I've got lots of time left :-). ns_req.c has the following comment around the code which spits out this message: ** Don't go into an infinite loop if ** the admin gave root NS records in the cache ** file without giving address records ** for the root servers. The cache file is the standard one from ftp.rs.internic.net, and contains entries with both NS records and A records, so, as usual, I'm confused... -- Gary Aitken garya@ics.com (business) garya@dreamchaser.org (personal)
