Description of problem: RFC1912, section 4.1 lists a set of zones that should be included in all name servers. It lists: primary localhost localhost primary 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa 127.0 primary 255.in-addr.arpa 255 primary 0.in-addr.arpa 0 The caching-nameserver package includes the first two of these, but not the latter two. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): N/A How reproducible: This is a configuration error, not a software bug.
Given that new installations are set to "localhost.localdomain," the informal TLD "localdomain" should be added to the list of authoritative domains that is included in the default BIND configuration on Red Hat Linux.
This is now fixed (caching-nameserver-7.3-3).
