X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2003 22:52:53 -0000 I just re-made my world to 4.9-PRERELEASE, using the instructions from the Handbook, and everything appears to be working fine. I do have one oddity, a number of messages that make it sound like named cannot find the root name servers, e.g.: Sep 18 15:09:25 ballista named[73]: sysquery: no addrs found for root NS (A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET) When I say "a number" of these, I mean on the order of 82471 entries, for (all?) the root servers, A through M. I don't believe I've ever had this problem before. My /etc/namedb/named.root file has never been touched, appears to be uncorrupted, and has the following version string: $FreeBSD: src/etc/namedb/named.root,v 1.9.2.1 2002/11/06 09:24:12 dougb Exp $ Googling for the error message seems to indicate that it's not necessarily a big issue, but given the number of log entries, I'd really like to eliminate the problem. DNS resolution appears to be working fine, I just want to keep my logs to a manageable size. Thanks! Michael -- Michael A. Alderete tel: +1 (415) 861-5758
