When I start BIND 9.2.1 on titania (slave), I get these two messages
Jul 1 12:57:11 titania.ctd.anl.gov named[11253]:
starting BIND 9.2.1 -c /export/home/named/named.conf.titania
Jul 1 13:00:53 titania.ctd.anl.gov named[11253]: running
which obviously are produced by BIND 9.2.1; I do not get those messages
on the master. I will reboot the hidden master soon (it has gone 210
days since the last reboot), as there might be some recent maintenance
that is not yet operational. Once I am able to see the "starting" and
"running" messages on the master, then I will see what other messages
on the master I might have also been missing. Then I will try to
diagnose why I am getting the TTL messages on the slave but not on the
master.
