Re: named / bind problem

I have run bind name servers for large systems for a long  time.  My
experience is that these events are very often caused by serial number
problems in the S\Start of Authority (SOA) record.  

This may not be the problem here, but remember when you change a DNS
master file, for the changes to propagate its serial number must
increase.  A slave (secondary) server will not accept a new version of
the file unless the new serial number is greater than the one in the
version it currently holds.

I used a Perl script that caused serial numbers to be generated with
each change in the form: YYYYMMDDNN.  (Year, Month & Day of the change,
and the NN allowed multiple changes per DAY. If you have a seriously
disrupted serial number.  Setting the serial number to "0" and
propagating it will allow you to get the slaves back in sync.

I hope this helps.
