avoid-v4-udp-ports ineffective? (BIND 9.8.1-P1)

It appears that named is trying to use ports I've mentioned in avoid-v4-udp-ports. Platform: BIND 9.8.1-P1 on Solaris 10 / SPARC On some of the ports which BIND might otherwise choose to use, I have other daemons running and/or the OS treats the ports as privileged. To keep named from trying t

RFC 6303 vs. BIND: NS ... has no address records (A or AAAA)

RFC 6303 says that a recursive nameserver should locally serve a number of DNS zones. Section 3 provides this generic empty zone for this purpose, in master file format: @ 10800 IN SOA @ nobody.invalid. 1 3600 1200 604800 10800 @ 10800 IN NS @ The RFC notes: "The NS RR is needed as some UPDAT

BIND 9.11.2 acting as a forwarder: authority section populated differently than BIND 9.9.11 ?

I'm preparing to upgrade from BIND 9.9.11 to 9.11.2. I notice a difference in how named populates the authority section in some responses, and am trying to understand if it's OK. My server is a caching-only server, and provides recursive service. For some zones, my server is configured to forwa

encountering "too many records" loading authoritative zone even when AXFR report shows nothing exceeding max-records-per-type

I'm encountering the max-records-per-type limit when loading an authoritative zone, so named won't load the zone. But an audit of the zone (count the records returned by AXFR) finds no records exceeeding the limit. Is anyone else encountering this? -- Details: I'm using Infloblox NIOS, a com
