BIND DNS problem (?)

[Jukka Pakkanen]

Yes looks like that, also this problem started suddenly, affects all our SMG & DNS servers, so very unlikely the problem is on our end.

Still Symantec "enterprise support technician" claims the problem is on our DNS servers, and as a "proof" send the chapter 4.1.1 of the RFC1035, where it is stated that "code 2 = server failure", and this should prove that our servers are not working because they got "server failure" error ;-)

The DNS servers for smg.brightmail.com are broken. They drop most queries which causes all sorts of problems.
