<DIV><FONT face=Courier size=1>Hello everyone,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Courier size=1></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Courier size=1>I hope somebody can tell me why I'm getting so
many "DNS format error" on a DNS Server running BIND 9.7.0 on a Solaris 10
machine.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Courier size=1>The server is resolving fine queries for normal
traffic. Is just syslog that gets tones of messages like the ones in the next
capture.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Courier size=1>The start command for named is:
"/usr/local/sbin/named -4 -c /etc/named.conf" but I get the errors no matter if
I use "-4" option or not.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Courier size=1></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Courier size=1>Thank you for any advice on how to fix whatever
causes this errors.</FONT></DIV>
