Bind Stops Responding

[spage911]

Hi,

My server did an update on friday that installed the caching-nameserver rpm. I have removed it, restored the named.conf, created the sym links to named.conf and rndc.key that are located in /var/named/run-root/etc verified that all keys match and re-started bind. Everything will work fine for a few hours but then names are no longer resolved. Named shows as still running when I do a ps aux and does not respond to service named stop so I kill the process and restart named and everything is fine for awhile until the same thing happens. I also upgraded to plesk 8.4 from 8.3

Anyone have any ideas why it locks up?

There are no errors in messages log that I can find


Thanks

Remove the caching only server and restart bind. Should work fine.

--Prowler318.

Also you might want to think about updating BIND or securing ....
