Agreed. There is some sort of problem here, though we're not exactly sure what it is. We'd like some help in diagnosing this. Therefore, those of you experiencing this problem, I have a question for you. When the SOA check fails, the slave server should retry some time later, where the interval is shorter than normal refresh interval. At this point, do some of these failed zones get successfully checked? You should be able to tell by checking the log; look for messages from about two hours after the server was last restarted. Two hours is the default retry interval in QuickDNS. If the answer is "yes", then I have a work-around for you to try. Currently, the retry interval is an even divisor into the refresh interval, and the ratio is fairly low - 4:1. Try setting the retry interval (for all your zones) to something lower, something that is not an even divisor of the refresh interval. A good value might be 610 seconds. (28800 / 610 = 47.21311) This way, the failed zones will be retried far more often, and even if you somehow have so many zones failing that they don't all get successfully checked in 8 hours, the later retries won't overlap with the next refresh check of the ones that succeed the first time. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy
