I wouldn't know. Seems to be a bug/issue the way it is. I suggest you try it on a test-machine or something like that and try to fix it there. Maybe just change the settings of 1 server out of the 4 and drop packets from other IP-addresses other then your recursor for a few seconds, so they don't cache something which is wrong.

Can you dump the contents of your zone somewhere? Meaning for example the output of a select * from records where domain_id=n; if it is *sql backend. This has often helped determine the problem in the past. Stefan ___ Pdns-users mailing list Pdns-users@mailman.powerdns.com http://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/pdns-users
