Hi All,
I found a post on this list from July 2009 with the subject:
"Intermittent NXDOMAIN, Bind 9.2.3 config and PowerDNS problem?"
https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/bind-users/2009-July/077045.html
I'm having exactly the same issue but with hostname dreamteam.afl.com.au
A sample dig is as follows:
$ dig dreamteam.afl.com.au
; <<>> DiG 9.3.4-P1 <<>> dreamteam.afl.com.au
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:

My understanding of the issue is that the authoritative nameserver for dreamteam.afl.com.au is returning the incorrect data in the 'AUTHORITY SECTION' causing PowerDNS to act unpredictably. Other DNS recursors may not have an issue with this, as they overlook the error. Is that a correct understanding?
Thanks,
Ian.
