I am encountering messages similar to this in the system logfile:

Jun 20 13:38:18 inet03 named[3720]: malformed transaction:
dynamic/efa1f375d76194fa51a3556a97e641e61685f914d446979da50a551a4333ffd7.mkeys.jnl last serial 103538 != transaction first serial 103361

I have no idea what this means, what caused it, nor how to fix it. Any suggestions relevant to any of the above are most welcome.

  • I think I’ve seen this before.  Are you auto-signing a zone for DNSSEC, and does that zone appear in multiple views?

  • Yes

    No

    I stopped and restarted the BIND daemon and this appears to have corrected whatever issue was causing the errors to be generated.

  • That will probably fix the problem temporarily, until the next time the zone file is updated (I think).  If it returns, let us know.  In my case, the problem occurred because, as I implied, the zone existed in two views and that is something that wasn’t handled well until recently
    (and I’d have to look up the right way to do it).
