Hi,

I've been trying to wrap my head around this for a while now, so I thought I'd ask around here.

For a while, I've had two nameservers, one master (let's call this NS1), one slave (let's call this NS2) -- which has been working flawlessly. They've both run BIND 9.6-ESV-R1 on Debian Lenny, and has static, public IP-addresses.

I've tried to get a third nameserver (let's call this NS3) up and running. This one runs BIND 9.7.0-P1 on Debian Squeeze, and sits behind NAT (a Cisco-router, FWIW). Proper measures have been taken (ie; proper ports have been opened, «no-payload» has been applied, debug shows no packets being dropped, so I think I've ruled out this to be a NAT-issue -- I could be wrong, though).

During initial startup of NS3, most zones gets «tsig verify failure», but some zones are successfully transferred. All zones uses the same transfer-key.

I pulled some logs, from both NS1 and NS3, showing what's happening on both sides; <http://home.komsys.org/~jocke/bind9-tsig-fail.txt>. For clarification; 80.0.0.1 is the public IP of NS3, and 90.0.0.1 is the public IP of NS1.

I notice that «request failed: end of file» shows up sometimes; this also shows up in the logs on NS2, but transfers all the zones without issues. NS2 has an identical config to NS3 (except other forwarders, etc), so I've assumed this isn't what's causing the «tsig verify failure». Maybe I'm wrong?

I could also mention that all three nameservers are chrooted, but they've all been created with the same script, so the setups are identical.

The timestamps from the logs differs by about ~40 seconds -- is this too much a variation?

Could this be an issue with different BIND-versions, or are there other matters that could cause this?
