I have run named on 2.0.5 > > before and this never happened. I have the same problem for more than half a year now on 2.1.0 and 2.1.5 servers. It dies sometimes after a couple of weeks, but recently after only 2 hours (server was quiescent): Jan 22 18:12:47 bug named[139]: Ready to answer queries. [..] Jan 22 20:35:10 bug named[139]: ns_req: no address for root server The only `special' is that the named is primary for the hosts-domain, but secondary for the rev-domain. If someone understands to read the log file I can offer a 2MB file of a level 10 debug log (the failure after 2 hours). > What are the expiry values for the root servers in root.cache For my case, I use the cache file from internic, unchanged. . 3600000 IN NS A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 3600000 A 198.41.0.4 Any help appreciated, Robert -- Robert Eckardt \\ FreeBSD -- solutions for a large universe.(tm) RobertE@MEP.Ruhr-Uni-Bochum.de \\ What do you want to boot tomorrow ?(tm) http://WWW.MEP.Ruhr-Uni-Bochum.de/~roberte For PGP-key finger roberte@gluon.MEP.Ruhr-Uni-Bochum.de
