The logs do seem to only check the first 1-2 servers in the forwarders section when the problem is occurring. If named is restarted on this slave, it will check all the servers, as expected when it receives a notify. We have our zones distributed among 5 masters to speed updates. The software we

Hey Lawrence, this is the zone entry as seen on the 10.10.10.1 slave. The 10.0.x.1 IPs are the addresses of the masters. On Tue, Jul 30, 2013 at 4:43 PM, Lawrence K. Chen, P.Eng. wrote: > > > -- > > > I think that's what you asked for. In case I misunderstood, here'

Sorry for the bump here, but through extensive troubleshooting I've identified a trend in this. It appears that zones hosted on the lower-numbered masters are still updating without issue. This leads me to believe that something is causing BIND to "forget" the later cluster servers, as the logs s
