Evan:

Thank you once more for your help with this. I'll redo our test on a separate environment, just to make sure, before sending a bug report.

Pass on a Thank You to the rest of the ISC Bind team - you guys did a remarkable job with getting the Bind Upgrade out for the query.c crash, as well as keeping everyone up to date on the issue.

Thanks,

-Kevin

Okay, it's definitely fallen out of sync.

Not that I know of.

"rndc stop" would have the same effect as a kill, in this case... but if you've consistently used "rndc reload" every time you updated the zone file, then it should be working.  If you forgot even once, though, then your server would get into this unrecoverable state.  So my guess is, either that's what happened, or else there's some other bug that I haven't previously encountered.  I should have time to take a closer look at this next week.

Thank you, by the way, for testing the code.  If you'd like to get this issue into our ticketing system, send mail to bind9-bugs at isc.org.
