9.0.1rc1: strange message: hint and forward

[Alain Fontaine (Post master, UCL)]

Hi,

I first started 9.0.1rc1 today, and got the following messages :

Nov 06 14:07:32.862 config: critical: Hint zones do not have a forward field
Nov 06 14:07:32.863 config: critical: Hint zones do not have a forwarders field

This seems to say that 'forward' and 'forwarders' options are mandatory in
'hint' zones. Even if zone-specific forwarding options were supported in
Bind 9, I have a hard time trying to believe that it would make sense.

What happens there ?

P.S. the only 'hint' zone I have is :

zone "." {
	type hint;
	file "named.ca";
};

                                                    /AF
