Hi there.

I have some serious trouble with Bind, since I've started to host the domain
where my nameservers A records are in.

First a little about my setup:

I run Bind 8.2.3 on a FreeBSD 4.3 box doing several other things(Postfix
mailhotel, Apachewebhotel etc.). It's located on an ADSL connection with
static ip-address, using a Cisco 667 router with NAT. I've forwarded all the
relevant ports to the server, among them port 53 TCP/UDP for
nameserveraccess. The secondary nameserver is placed on a totally different
network, at a different physical location.

The problem is, when I ask for an address from outside my nameserver, it
always replies with the same address(The static IP of my router), regardless
of what A record I ask. These problems started when I got the domain where
my nameservers are registered in back on my own nameserver. I've talked to
the root domain's support, but they can't see anything is wrong with their
setup. But it has worked, which is the most strange part of it. And all the
zone records are fine, if I do an AXFR from outside, it works fine(If the
server doing the AXFR is in my allow list) and the records are ok. But if I
do a nslookup with one of the A records who had the right address on the
AXFR, I get the wrong address back from my nameserver(The static IP of my
router).

It could be something in the named.conf I've missed somehow, or something
else?!? Does anyone know what this might be?

Also, I've downloaded Bind 9.1.3 and compiled it, and it has the same
strange behavior running on the same files.

Mvh
Peter
