my use case is not chroot()’ed and it sounds like others have hit this as well.

I’ve solved my immediate issue.  Happy to troubleshoot more with another host elsewhere that doesn’t have 8.5k zones seeing queries so it’s easier to tell what occurred.  (aside: really wish bind would launch faster when loading these zones, or background the loading of the zones and answer those it can).

This is possible, I will dig through logs looking for any relevant messages.. once I changed to any; things immediately resolved with a rndc reload.
