[Feedback Request] db.xemacs 2007102500 has been loaded yesterday

Hi All, with much help from John, I think that xemacs.org DNS is in
good shape now.

We have 5 hosts serving the xemacs.org domain, and they all agree on
the SOA Resource Record:

SOA gwyn.tux.org. hostmaster.xemacs.org. 2007102500 7200 1800 1209600 7200 from server gwyn.tux.org in 8 ms.
SOA gwyn.tux.org. hostmaster.xemacs.org. 2007102500 7200 1800 1209600 7200 from server puck.nether.net in 34 ms.
SOA gwyn.tux.org. hostmaster.xemacs.org. 2007102500 7200 1800 1209600 7200 from server yxa.extundo.com in 128 ms.
SOA gwyn.tux.org. hostmaster.xemacs.org. 2007102500 7200 1800 1209600 7200 from server a.ns.sunsite.dk in 130 ms.
SOA gwyn.tux.org. hostmaster.xemacs.org. 2007102500 7200 1800 1209600 7200 from server b.ns.sunsite.dk in 132 ms.

I would like your comment on some issues I noticed (please look for my
Q:s below):

administrators at calypso.tux.org, I got named warnings when I activated
the current (1.79) /etc/named/xemacs/db.xemacs:

The default 4h TTL actually seems to have overridden the specified 2d
TTL for IN NS RRs.

Oct 27 07:46:12 gwyn named[4887]: xemacs.org IN MX differing ttls: corrected
Oct 27 07:46:12 gwyn named[4887]: xemacs.org IN NS differing ttls: corrected
Oct 27 07:46:12 gwyn named[4887]: master zone "xemacs.org" (IN) loaded (serial 2007102500)

Q: administrators at calypso.tux.org, do you know why that is?
Q: Which version of bind are you running?

Hi jared at puck.nether.net, thanks for backing up xemacs.org DNS (I
registered recently according to jam's recommendation)!

gwyn sent a NOTIFY, but only yxa.extundo.com responded promptly.

Oct 27 07:46:35 gwyn named[4887]: Sent NOTIFY for "xemacs.org IN SOA 2007102500" (xemacs.org); 4 NS, 4 A
Oct 27 07:46:35 gwyn named[4887]: Received NOTIFY answer (AA) from 83.241.177.38 for "xemacs.org IN SOA"
Oct 27 07:46:36 gwyn named[4887]: Request IXFR from [83.241.177.38].33385
Oct 27 07:46:36 gwyn named[4887]: No IXFR log from 2007102401 for "xemacs.org"
Oct 27 07:46:36 gwyn named[4887]: approved IXFR/AXFR from [83.241.177.38].33385 for "xemacs.org"
Oct 27 07:46:36 gwyn named[4887]: zone transfer (IXFR) of "xemacs.org" (IN) to [83.241.177.38].33385

Q: Jared, do you know why puck.nether.net only came back 45 minutes
later with an IXFR request?

Oct 27 08:32:32 gwyn named[4887]: Request IXFR from [204.42.254.5].57243
Oct 27 08:32:32 gwyn named[4887]: No IXFR log from 2007102401 for "xemacs.org"
Oct 27 08:32:32 gwyn named[4887]: approved IXFR/AXFR from [204.42.254.5].57243 for "xemacs.org"
Oct 27 08:32:32 gwyn named[4887]: zone transfer (IXFR) of "xemacs.org" (IN) to [204.42.254.5].57243

staff at dotsrc.org, only a.ns.sunsite.dk pulled data from gwyn.

Q: Does b.ns.sunsite.dk get its data from a.ns.sunsite.dk?

Q: staff at dotsrc.org, do you know why a.ns.sunsite.dk only requested
the AXFR ca. 90 minutes later?

Oct 27 09:16:56 gwyn named[4887]: approved AXFR from [130.225.247.90].19968 for "xemacs.org"
Oct 27 09:16:56 gwyn named[4887]: zone transfer (AXFR) of "xemacs.org" (IN) to [130.225.247.90].19968

I just want to make sure these issues are not covering up bigger
issues, that's why I bring them up now while everything is working
fine.

Thanks everybody!

Adrian
