Hi all, is anyone else here running bind9 under debian wheezy amd64 as an caching/authoritative server using ipv6? If so, are you finding it to be stable? I'm asking because bind9 under wheezy seems to be crashing one of my machines. Most times it will happen when starting bind9 during boot (the machine crashes right after the message starting bind9). Other times it will start, but crash anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours after. I found that when starting named with the -4 flag the machine consistently boots to the login prompt, and stays up so far. I've seen reports of bind crashing boxes when trying to contact root servers over ipv6, but haven't specifically seen anything naming wheezy as a distro where this happens. Also, bind seems to crash the box when /etc/resolv.conf has 127.0.0.1 (or ::1) listed as a nameserver. This is regardless of if bind is started with -4 or without (if it gets that far). Doing normal dig queries works fine, but I've been able to consistently cause it to crash when running apt-get install chkrootkit and apt-get install cracklib-runtime if using 127.0.0.1 or ::1 as the name server. It gets as far as "working 0%," and the box crashes. Running apt-get install ... completes just fine if using isp-provided name servers in resolv.conf. Unfortunately nothing shows up in the logs when these crashes happen, so that's all I have to go on. Thanks.
