OpenBSD my.example.com 6.0 GENERIC.MP#2319 amd64 Relevant bit of /var/nsd/etc/nsd.conf: ip-address: 10.1.2.3 $ cat /etc/hostname.vmx1 rdomain 1 inet 10.1.2.3 255.255.255.224 !route -T1 add default 10.1.2.65 The above yields : Sep 3 18:35:40 my nsd[35324]: nsd starting (NSD 4.1.10) Sep 3 18:35:40 my nsd[35324]: can't bind udp socket: Can't assign requested address Sep 3 18:35:40 my nsd[35324]: server initialization failed, nsd could not be started Commenting out or removing the rdomain and route lines yields: Sep 3 18:40:05 my nsd[40514]: nsd starting (NSD 4.1.10) Sep 3 18:40:05 my nsd[36692]: nsd started (NSD 4.1.10), pid 17346
