[ale] Bind 8.23 Question

[Ken Nagorski]

Hmm, 

This is a weird issue. I mat have missed something but I am using the same
version of bind on two machines. Here is it. These are both secondary name
servers. This is was is going on.

On name server one we run a script that gets the information from ns1 and
runs it through a perl script and builds a list of slave domains. Then it
reload named. The db files that are new get created and placed in the
folder we store them in right. This is pretty basic stuff. 

Now on the new one all this works just like it does on the old name server
but for one thing. the script runs and everything is fine but there are
no files in the dir. we save the slave db files in. BUT!!! When you do an
nslookup on whateverdom.com it works and the new secondary answers for it
no problem. Then.... if you ls in the dir that all the db files should
have been in see the ascii text file there like it should be. But not
untill you do an nslookup and then only for a short time after. 

Is there a name for this? Has anyone ever heard of it before? I did a
little searching and found nothing. Maybe I missed something. 

Any clues... Thanks!
Ken
