*** Can't find server name for address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: Server failed

[Charles Ulysses Farley]

After upgrading to bind 8.2.4-REL my primary NS is broken. I've read the
archives and everyone points to PTR records although mine seem fine. No
error messages are generated in /var/log/messages. Please see info below
and advise.
