This concerns me. We had a similar problem with 9.1.0 where named would stop responding (oddly, host continued to work but dig@localhost hung). Our interim fix was a script that ran every 5 minutes checking for timeouts and restarting named if it hung. After the upgrade to 9.1.1rc2, we have not seen this problem. And we serve a LOT of dns since in addition to our clients we're a top level domain server. The problem is not specific to FreeBSD, we see it on BSD/OS as well. I see you upgraded to rc3 recently, perhaps that will make a difference. If you contact isc about this, you can reference ticket [ISC-Bugs #912] (bind9) since it sounds like the same problem. Should this happen again, try to get a stack trace. We're not getting core files when we kill it. /\/\ \/\/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
