Strange DNS problem. (fwd): msg#00231

Subject: Strange DNS problem. (fwd)
If this is a known problem, please forgive.  I only have access to Lynx, 
and I can't seem to get around the list archives.  I originally posted 
this to the Red Hat Valhalla list, but I thought I'd try here.  My version 
is 9.2.1.



          TIA.

Subject: Strange DNS problem.

Hi all,

     I recently took over the DNS services for my domain.  The transition 
has gone smoothly except for one thing.  Some times, the first time an A 
record is requested for any one of my hosts, the IP address of the third 
name-server (ns.bar.net) is returned instead.  Subsequent requests return 
the correct info.  I don't have a sure way of reproducing it.  I can do 
a "rndc flush", and make my requests.  Most of the time, they'll complete 
OK.  This has happened on several different systems running the errata 
version of BIND.  My best guess is that I have something obscure 
slightly 
wrong in my zone-file.  The only thing I've obfuscated is my partner 
server-names.
