Hello! I installed fedora 7 on one of my servers about 3 weeks ago and setup the local name server for my local network. I set this up, originally ~3 years ago, because I was seeing some serious latency problems with my isp's name servers. I also do a lot of repair on machines that belong to clients and just thought it would be easier to run my own nameservers. I seems that after the 07/31/07 update of the following bind packages I have an intermittent problem with dns resolution.

I have to restart the name service for it to start working again. Some times it requires multiple restarts before it will work again. I noticed that the ownership of the files located in /var/named/chroot/var/named = root:root sso I changed them to named:named and this did not help. I have checked the content of the forward and reverse zone files for my local network and all seems to be in order. I also removed the caching-nameserver package and that did not help. Any thoughts or info would be greatly appreciated. -- John Registered Linux User 263680, get counted at http://counter.li.org
