Same here.

We have a 5500 server running Ultrix 4.1 and the situation described is
exactly what we are experiencing here.

The difference is that we *did* use bindsetup for installation and our
named files are located in /var/dss/namedb. Are we entitled to support
from DEC?

>If there is a real solution, let me know.

We would like to know if other sites who used "standard" procedure for
setting up bind are getting any help from DEC.

Is there an e-mail address at DEC for reporting these problems?
