Hi BIND Users,
In one of our customer sites, the DNS process was found running on
multiple cache serversbut is was not responding to a dig @localhost.
The named version is BIND 9.5.1-P2 with security fixes from BIND
9.5.2-P3.
The named process was in a hung state. The recursive cache could not
communicate with the roots. Therefore the queries were timing out
causing a wide spread outage.
Restarting the DNS process resolved the problem. The servers had an
uptime of over 300 days.
There are no significant lines in the /var/adm/messages or in named.log
to pinpoint the problem.
Could this version have anything to do with the recent BIND bug that was
fixed via BIND 9.7.3-P3?
Did our customer hit a known bug?
Any help regarding this will be appreciated.
general: info: sockmgt 1006e49b0: maximum number of FD events (64)
received lines are seen in the logs.
Thanks
Sam.
