- I have observed a problem with the namserver when the SOA record for a domain
- is included from another file using $INCLUDE. An error message is generated
- through syslog saying that no SOA record was found. All queries for records in
- that domain are answered as non-authoritative. I looked at the BIND code
- (version 4.37?) and this is what the code does. It seems to me that SOA
- records should not be shared across named database files for different
- domains. Can someone tell me if there is a written or unwritten convention
- about SOA records and INCLUDE files.
-
- thanks in advance for any help,
-
