I have the same occasional problem. A 486 SX-25 machine. All the other
four machines doing DNS (486 DX-33 with FreeBSD 2.1.5 / 486 SX-25 with
FreeBSD 2.1.0) work flawlessly. Also for me the problem is that I'm not
there when the problems happen (the machines are locate a couple of ten
kilometers away, soon to be a couple of thousand kilometers, after I
moved.)
