9.3.2 behavior - explain please

[Kevin Darcy]

Pavel,
          I have no ready explanation for this. If a nameserver can 
successfully give a zone transfer for a zone, and the zone status 
doesn't change at all, it *should* give an authoritative response to a 
"-t any" query for the zone name as well. These 2 digs were run on the 
same machine right? And nothing was done between them (e.g. an rndc 
reload or rndc config)? The zone didn't happen to expire in that 
less-than-2-minute interval between queries, did it (since you have a 
1000-hour expiration interval that seems rather unlikely)? Very strange. 
Is this behavior repeatable?

As Chris pointed out, rndc dumpdb only dumps the cache by default, you 
need additional arguments if you want it to dump authoritative zone data.

                                                                         
   - Kevin
