There's a 'NOADDITIONAL' option that does it, which I have had to set in FreeBSD's Makefile to make named behave consistently for certain (illegal but common) misconfigurations, but even though the issue has been known for over a year they still haven't ripped the code out or made the more consistent behavior the default. I am continuously annoyed by bind's instability... there's just no excuse after so many years. But I'm not annoyed enough to replace it with something like djbdns. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
