I got the error: Jan 19 12:03:02 rash named[6624]: could not get query source dispatcher (0.0.0.0#53) Jan 19 12:03:02 rash named[6624]: loading configuration: address in use Jan 19 12:03:02 rash named[6624]: exiting (due to fatal error) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. bind-9.4.3_p1 2. "query-source address * port 53;" in named.conf 3. start/restart named I've attached a link to the Red Hat Bugzilla which seems to be the same issue.
Please test it again with net-dns/bind-9.4.3_p5. Seems to work in net-dns/bind-9.6.1_p3.
