No i have the messages on both servers. If ns1 goes down, we get the messages on ns2 and vice-versa. > Before answering your other questions, can you please > consider running the latest 9.4.x version?

I'll try to upgrade to the latest 9.4 version and let you know if I still get the messages on ns1 > If you continue to have the same problems on BIND 9.4.3 (or BIND > 9.5.1-P1) or newer, please let us know.
