Bind 9.6-ESV-R5 errors

[Jack Tavares]

Hello

I get several errors whenever I run rndc reload
that look like this:

named[9178]: 27-Mar-2012 05:56:00.798 general: error: zone 0.IN-ADDR.ARPA/IN/view_internal_dns: zone serial unchanged. zone may fail to transfer to slaves.
named[9178]: 27-Mar-2012 05:56:00.798 general: error: zone 127.IN-ADDR.ARPA/IN/view_internal_dns: zone serial unchanged. zone may fail to transfer to slaves.
named[9178]: 27-Mar-2012 05:56:00.798 general: error: zone 254.169.IN-ADDR.ARPA/IN/view_internal_dns: zone serial unchanged. zone may fail to transfer to slaves.

etc etc.

This occurs with a very simple stripped down named.conf file:
--start--
controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 port 953 allow {
127.0.0.1;
};
};
logging {
channel logfile {
syslog daemon;
severity error;
print-category yes;
print-severity yes;
print-time yes;
};
category default {
logfile;
};
category config {
logfile;
};
category notify {
logfile;
};
};
acl "internal_addr" {
10.0.0.0/8;
};

options {
listen-on port 53 {
127.0.0.1;
"internal_addr";
};
listen-on-v6 port 53 {
::1;
};
recursion no;
directory "/config/namedb";
};
view "view_internal_dns" {
match-clients {
"internal_addr";
};
recursion yes;
};
view "view_externall_dns" {
match-clients {
"any";
};
recursion yes;
};
--end--

Upgrading bind is not currently an option. Is there a way to stop these errors?

Ignore them. They are from the built in empty zones. They are fixed in
the next maintenance release.

I notice that adding
"enable-empty-zones no;"

to the config stops these messages.
Is there any downside to doing that?

Thank you

The zones are from RFC 6303, Locally Served DNS Zones. Their purpose is
stop reverse queries for local addresses leaving the site. Removing
them shouldn't hurt but it does increase traffic on the public servers
and will increase response time.
