AW: AXFR Problems sind Upgrade to 9.16.12

[Klaus Darilion]

For the records. With the help of Ondrej we found the cause: The problem is related to TCP timeouts not working as expected. If you are affected set tcp-initial-timeout and tcp-idle-timeout to 1200 (=120s). If you have huge zones with AXFRs > 120s you can download the source, increase the max timeoutvalue to some higher value and rebuild bind9.
I guess the problem is not related with 9.16.12 but we didn't noticed it as we usually use IXFR. For whatever reason our Bind used AXFR and now the timeout problems appeared.

Klaus
