BIND Bug

[Loucks, Guy]

People,

We are running:

named 8.1.2-REL

On Compaq T64 v5.0A.

There appears to be a problem with RR CNAME / MX's

See below:

# cat ns.sh
nslookup <<HERE
ls tafensw.edu.au.
HERE

# sh ns.sh | grep -i sci
sci                     30M IN CNAME    hadsy8.isd

tafensw.edu.au.db:sci                   IN      CNAME
hadsy7.isd.tafensw.edu.au.
tafensw.edu.au.db:sci                   IN      CNAME
hadsy8.isd.tafensw.edu.au.

Before we scream down an upgrade to 8.2.2PL5, does anyone know if this is a
known defect in 8.1.2?

Kindest Regards,

Guy
