I have made another machine in the same fashion [same hardware etc] and installed Debian
Sarge with the 2.4 kernel instead of the 2.6 kernel that I had previously tried. The name
server seems to be running without issue as of this moment. The load isn't very high but I
am going to try switching a few more servers to use it for testing.
Any ideas as to why this is? My guess is the IPv6 that was suggested by Jinmei. Maybe this
isn't present in the 2.4 kernel so Bind 9.2.4 try doesn't use it.
Thanks for the help again.
