Hello,
My primary bind9 name server which does double-duty as a server and recursive lookup
is becoming "wedged" where it does not respond to queries or stop events from rndc.
Sending SIGTERM does not work; I have to SIGKILL (kill -9) it.
Package info:
ii bind9 1:9.5.0.dfsg.P2-1ubun Internet Domain Name Server
OS:
Ubuntu 8.10
Needless to say, this is causing me a headache. When it's down, SSH operations
take over a minute.
Strangely, I have an identical server which slaves all the same domains but does
not ever exhibit this behavior.
What can/should I do to troubleshoot this?

for starters thats an old version, perhaps obtain the a latest source for v9.5 it is 9.5.1-p2 and try that.<BR>
You can build and run bind manually from the build directory (this means dont do make install and you can still keep your existing hacked ubuntu version to eliminate it as a cause), if after a while you think its all good, then remove ubuntus bind and then issue make install (backup your named.,conf and zone files, as who knows what ubuntu will do when you issue apt-get remove<BR>
