<div>There's a bunch of other issues. In particular, BIND 9.6-ESV
is the oldest version</div>
<div>which anyone should be running on the public internet, and
even that is sufficiently</div>

I'm aware that the BIND 9.6 on the other machine is rather ancient,
and have plans to move off it in the reasonably near future. And
the other issues. Trying to clean them all up. <br>
<br>
But I still have the initial problem of getting
<a href="http://ns1.sustainablesources.com">ns1.sustainablesources.com</a> 205.238.182.102 to answer. This is a
clean install of the latest BIND available, after a system upgrade,
so there's probably something wrong with my config. Problem is, I
don't know what. I've been over it dozens of times and am stuck,
otherwise I wouldn't have posted here. <br>
<br>
Is it kosher to post the config file here? <br>
