      when editing zones that are used as dynamic DNS zones too, sometimes the following error occurs:

      general: error: zone 10.#.#.in-addr.arpa/IN/##: journal rollforward failed: not exact
      

      the resultion as given here and here is to delete the journal and restart bind9 via webinterface.

      rm /cf/named/etc/namedb/master/Vbc/10.#.#.DB.jnl
      

      Locking the zones before editing can help according to the entry pasted above:

      rndc freeze <zone>
      

      <edit>

      rndc reload <one>
      rndc thaw <zone>
      

      My question: WHY does the bind webinterface does not lock the zone before committing? We had a real bad situation today where mails didn't arrive due to the above error.
      Does anyone has a LONG TERM solution, how editing zones via webinterface and using them as dynamic zones at the same time works?

      Best regards,
      Martin
