[Bug 807324] Re: BIND 9.7.0 (ie., lucid) is overly strict on authoritative responses missing the "aa" flag

[Matt Day]

I think we're hitting this problem, and I'm surprised to see the
Importance of this bug set to "Low".

BIND9 version 1:9.7.0.dfsg.P1-1ubuntu0.3 on Ubuntu's Lucid LTS can't
resolve certain DNS names:

* www.newegg.ca
* www.neweggbusiness.com
* edadfs.partners.extranet.microsoft.com (sometimes)

These kinds of errors are logged:

Sep 28 12:54:32 server named[12345]: DNS format error from 204.14.213.156#53 resolving www.newegg.ca/A for client 127.0.0.1#43658: invalid response
Sep 28 12:54:32 server named[12345]: error (FORMERR) resolving 'www.newegg.ca/A/IN': 204.14.213.156#53

I haven't proven that the patch will fix this, but I suspect this is
affecting a number of people without them knowing why.

Please help investigate and bump priority as necessary.
