[ILUG] Weird named problem...

[Braun Brelin]

Hello,

I'm trying to debug a strange named problem.  I've got an old RH 7.x
system that's a name server for a large organization.  It's seems to no
longer work in any mode other than debug.  I.e. if I run named with the -f
-g -d 5 options and scroll error messages to STDERR, I can do name
resolutions via nslookup or dig.  If I run named normally, i.e.
/sbin/service named start or /etc/init.d/named start, then the
nslookup/dig commands time out.

Has anybody run across this sort of problem before?  Any thoughts on how
to debug this?

Thanks,
