I posted this to linux-admin earlier as well. One list member there thinks it is a DNS loop. any help? I have a curious problem. My name server trundles along for a bit. Soon, I have problems checking mail, authentication seems to take forever. The following message appears on my slave DNS (Win NT): >4/7/00 8:19:26 AM Dns Warning None 7062 N/A WWW DNS Server encountered a packet addressed to >itself -- IP address 216.77.135.35. The DNS server should never be sending a packet to itself. This situation >usually indicates a configuration error. Check the following areas for possible self-send configuration >errors: 1) Forwarders list. (DNS servers should not forward to themselves). 2) Master lists of secondary >zones. 3) Notify lists of primary zones. 4) Delegations of subzones. Must not contain NS record for DNS >server Example: -> This DNS server dns1.foo.com is the primary for the zone foo.com. -> You have >delegated the zone bar.foo.com to bardns.bar.foo.com. and are NOT running the bar.foo.com zone on >this DNS (dns1.foo.com). -> bar.foo.com MUST NOT have an NS record that points at dns1.foo.com. >Note, you should make this check (with nslookup or DNS manager) both on this DNS server and on the >server(s) you delegated the subzone to. It is possible that the delegation was done correctly, but that the >primary DNS for the subzone, has any incorrect NS record pointing back at this server. If this incorrect >NS record is cached at this server, then the self-send could result. If found, the subzone DNS server admin >should remove the offending NS record. I am almost exactly certain all of my zone files are syntactically correct (I copied the ones from "DNS and BIND", so they LOOK correct). It seems like the server has a memory leak of some sort, the problem goes away for a time after reboot. Any suggestions?
