BIND 9.1.0 and Sendmail 8.9.3 on Solaris 2.7?

[Mike Miller]

We are having the same problem here too.  I am running sendmail 8.11.2 and
bind 8.2.2p7.  From what I have read in the last couple of days and from
other posts in this group it sounds like many of the 'problem' domains are
incorrectly set up.  If anyone has any more information please share!!
