Hello there. I'm Nicola Roserba and I work on Interbusiness, Italy. I wish to let you know that I've probably found a bug on the Bind 4.9.2. If you define new machines on a zone in this way: machine.domain.something IN A 194.243.100.001 anothermachine.domain.something IN A 194.243.100.002 and then you query that zone, in this way: host -avl domain.something authoritative-DNS-for-that-domain you'll probably receive this: machine.domain.something IN A 194.243.100.wrong-IP anothermachine.domain.something IN A 194.243.100.wrong-IP. "wrong-IP" means that you will receive a different last byte in IP address for example: machine.domain.something IN A 194.243.100.4 If you remove the zeroes in the last byte of the zone where you define the machine, like this: machine.domain.something IN A 194.243.100.1 anothermachine.domain.something IN A 194.243.100.2 the DNS will amswer correctly. So it seems like the BIND doesn't appreciate the zeroes in a IP address definition. I can't find errors in my BIND configuration so I think this is a bug. Do you agree?
