I'm having an intermittent problem on my main nameserver for my ISP site. I'm using FreeBSD -current as of about August on a P5-90, 64MB's RAM. Basically the following tells the whole story. It works fine for a while, and then every request comes back as non-authoritative. They're not even always right. Restarting the nameserver fixes the problem for the short term. Note that this is not for my own domain, nor hosts that we serve, but just random places out there on the net. # nslookup www.stroud.com Server: ns.cdsnet.net Address: 204.118.244.2 Non-authoritative answer: Name: www.stroud.com Address: 204.107.221.239 # named.restart Jan 29 22:09:59 ns named[28248]: starting. named 4.9.5-P1 Tue Jan 21 16:09:56 PST 1997 root@ns.cdsnet.net:/usr/local/src/bind-4.9.5-P1/named Jan 29 22:10:00 ns named[28249]: Ready to answer queries. nslookup www.stroud.com Name Server Restarted # # Server: ns.cdsnet.net Address: 204.118.244.2 Name: www.stroud.com Addresses: 204.107.221.239, 199.35.192.140 This is a serious problem, since my squid server won't use any non-authoritative answers from the DNS, and so several thousand customers can't access the web. Restarting named *always* fixes it. Any ideas appreciated.
