ISC Bind as secondary to Windows Server: bad bitmap error on named xfer.

Tony,
A big thanks to you for your suggestion on using the Perl Net::DNS module, using that, I was then able to run named-checkzone on the dumped file (35,000+ lines!) to find the one bad record which was making things crap out. I'm back a bit on bind versions, but not that far back, so I would have expected bind to just ignore that bogus record instead of crapping out.
Unfortunately, I don't think I saved a copy of the bad record so I could file a bug report, too busy trying to make things work.
Cheers,
John

yuck, this looks like no fun...

does it print more hexdump? who knows where the problem might be in 16KB of wire-format DNS...
I would try another DNS AXFR client that might not give up so easily, e.g.
if you have a handy copy of perl and Net::DNS, put your Windows DNS server IP address into this one-liner instead of 127.0.0.1
perl -MNet::DNS -wE 'my $r = Net::DNS::Resolver->new(); $r->nameservers("127.0.0.1"); for my $rr ($r->axfr("toshiba.com")) { $rr->print }'
The bit of the hexdump you pasted shows another similar CNAME and its RRSIG, so it isn't very enlightening.

backpointer to zone = c00c 0005 = cname
citibank looks like it follows cisco alphabetically which suggests the zone transfer might be in canonical order, which could perhaps make it easier to find the stray NXT / TYPE30 record(s)
