Hi, I have updated bind on my system and probably after a while have decided to pick-up the new zone file. When comparing it with the old one, I doubt what is the "ns" for? Why doesn't the NS record point directly back to 127.0.0.1? # diff -u -w pri/localhost pri/localhost.zone --- pri/localhost 2003-10-11 02:00:00.000000000 +0200 +++ pri/localhost.zone 2004-08-25 22:27:00.000000000 +0200 @@ -5,5 +5,5 @@ 14400 ; Retry 604800 ; Expire - 1 week 86400 ) ; Minimum - IN NS 127.0.0.1 + IN NS ns localhost.

it was there for ages. why you think that's 'weird'?
I think it is reasonable to put there directly the IP address, instead of waiting for ns.localhost to be later resolved by a nameserver. But to be true, I see here in the example almost the same: http://www.cesnet.cz/nic/ripe-192.txt http://www.cesnet.cz/nic/rfc1912.txt So, I'd understand if you reject this. :(
yep, sounds reasonable. i've done this change in 9.2.6_beta2 and 9.3.2_beta2-r1. if there will be no complaints about it - all future bump's will have it too. and thanks for your attention, Martin.
