Bind /named stopped working - getting SERVFAIL

[Evert]

Fixed it... But I am not sure what caused the problem in the first place...

It got fixed by removing the following lines from my named.conf

*************************
zone "." in
{
      type slave;
      file "tld-root";
      masters { 216.87.84.209; 90.227.129.150; 88.191.51.140;  };
};
*************************

However, these lines have been in there since long before the server stopped working...


Regards,
  Evert
