What could cause an RErr?
Chris Blackwall
Greetings,
I've just been checking my named log files and am wondering if I should
be worried about the RErrs (O'Reilly's DNS & Bind does not appear to be
all that helpful on this).
DNS appears to function correctly for these domains. The server is bind
8.2.2-P5 on a redhat 6.2 linux box.
I recently registered 3 domain names for my server which is colocated at
my ISP. The server is the primary name server for these domains and is
authoritive (dig shows aa flags when the server queried for these
domains). My ISP runs 2 secondary nameservers for these domains.
The server does not allow recursion and zone transfers are only allowed
to the 2 secondary servers at the ISP. There appears to be no other
errors in the log file.
2 Hours of Log extracts follow:

Any help gratefully received, even if only to put my mind at rest.
