[Mark Andrews]

> 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
