Searchable Reference Regarding Errors and Warnings

[Martin McCormick]

	Where is there a resource that lists bind warnings and errors
and explains what caused them?

	I have the Oreily book and it is a gold mine, but I am
presently caught up in what I call the "treasure hunt syndrome" in
which one spends (mostly wastes) time treading data and not
necessarily heading to a solution.  I have an error which says:

 query(some.domain) contains our address (ns.cis.okstate.edu:139.78.100.1)

	We are a slave dns for some.domain so there is a NS record
listed in their SOA for ns.cis.okstate.edu all right, right under
their own NS record.  I thought that's what is normally done.

	I want to know what this condition means, but better yet, I
would like to see a listing somewhere, preferably in searchable form,
of every single ill-health condition and at least a thumbnail
description of what caused it so we can more quickly fix the problem
and spend less time on a wild goose chase.

	I think the isc software is the finest around and this is not
a criticism of anybody.  The problem of linking a malfunction with a
knowledge base to at least limit the search scope to a manageable
amount is chronic to computing in general and is the bane of modern
society.  Is there anything like a global search of the archive
messages? that would probably allow one to type in the "has our
address" part and cut right to the chase.
