/var/bind/pri/localhost.zone as installed by the bind-9.3.2-r4 ebuild includes the following record: @ IN NS 127.0.0.1 This is invalid according to RFC 1034 section 3.6, part RDATA, which explicitly states that a NS RR's RDATA is a host name, not an IP address. Used in a zone "localhost" the record above will be expanded as: @ IN NS 127.0.0.1.localhost. which obviously is not the intended meaning. In a root zone it would be expanded to "127.0.0.1." which also cannot resolve because there most likely is no "1" top level domain set up. The record mentioned above should be changed to: @ IN NS ns ns IN A 127.0.0.1 Alternatively, "ns.localhost." can be substituted for "ns". Please note trailing period. I would also suggest adding the IPv6 equivalent address record, in addition to the IPv4 record above: ns IN AAAA ::1
changed in 9.2.7/9.3.3 to: @ IN NS ns ns IN A 127.0.0.1 ns IN AAAA ::1 thanks for reporting.
