New Checks in BIND 9.4.1-P1

[Barry Finkel]

I installed BIND 9.4,1-P1 on my hidden master DNS server, replacing
BIND 9.3.4.  There were a number of messages like this one:

     Jul 26 09:10:07  ... named[29566]: [ID 873579 daemon.error]
       zone anl.gov/IN/argonne: www.anl.gov/MX
       'atalanta.it.anl.gov' has no address records (A or AAAA)

I do not understand this message.  There is an A record for

     atalanta.it.anl.gov - 146.137.96.104

Is the problem the fact that the "A" record does not appear in the

    anl.gov

zone but appears in the

    it.anl.gov

zone?  There were messages for all of the entries in the anl.gov zone
that have internal MX records pointing to atalanta.it.anl.gov.

There were a number of similar messages that denoted dangling
MX records pointing to mail hosts that no longer exist; I corrected
those.  I just do not understand the above message about atalanta.
