Hellow Shane;

Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated, yes everything is fine now. Do you have a time line for the Bind 10 testing? We first got the issue reported on Dec 12 and noticed it was gone Dec 21st. Thanks

Best Regards

Yes, we were testing a BIND 10 AS112 server and things did not go as
well as we hoped. We were dropping queries for several days. Everything
