Thomas,

I am really glad you posted this to the mailing list. This morning I woke up
to a non-functioning named as it could no longer transfer data from
192.5.5.241 and my arpa/IN/internal-view expired at about midnight last night.
I suppose I should have noticed the transfer failure messages in my
/var/log/messages file over the past two weeks, but I didn't (or it didn't
occur to me how serious they were).

I was left with NO outside nameserver resolution at all. Looks like I need to
find a reliable backup nameserver that I can use should something like the
happen again.

Anyway, luckly my mail server had already received you message to
freebsd-ports describing the issue and what you did to correct it. I followed
your example and got my nameserver back to the working state.

Thank you!!
Bob
