Sorry, my mistake. When I copied and pasted the contents of jaspain.net.db from my bind9 server, I inadvertently omitted the first line, which is indeed "$ORIGIN .". bind9 is rewriting the zone file following the use of nsupdate.

I'll guess that this is an off-by-one error with respect to b10-loadzone undercounting the characters processed from the zone file divided by the length of the file. Jaspain.net.db is 970 characters in length and 1/970 is 0.10309%.

Thanks. Jeff.
