That's not good. :) I assume you're using it as a resolver from the dump. > I dumped named in one of these instances.

Unfortunately, the db is generally not the problem. The only way to diagnose it is to up the debug level and log what's happening while it's actually broken. > Is anyone aware of any issues with named? I see that the current > version in the tree appears to be 8.3.2-T1B (which I just installed > a second ago). I just updated the bind8 port to 8.3.2-RELEASE, which I recommend that you run instead. I saw some weird problems with the pre-release versions of 8.3.2 that seem to be fixed now. I also added a new knob to the port so you can make -DREPLACE_SYSTEM_BIND install and have it update the stuff in /usr instead of installing to /usr/local.
