Package: pdns-server Version: 2.9.20-5 Severity: normal I have server B slave a bunch of zones from server A, and every 1-2 days, server B will complain:
Error trying to retrieve/refresh 'my.zone.net': Timeout waiting for answer I just captured what's going on on A and B at the time with tcpdump: B: IP 82.197.162.59.14354 > 213.203.238.82.53: 38606 SOA? debian-system.info.

B sends another request two seconds later, which A again answers; this time, the answer arrives. Nevertheless, B has written the above warning to the logs. I would suggest that it did not write this warning until 2-3 retries have failed. As it stands, I got the warning but the retrieve/refresh did actually work. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-amd64 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer, author, administrator, and user `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck - http://debiansystem.info `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
