The Question is:

 
hi
 
My problem is to do with UCX bind feature
in a vax vms 6.2 ucx 4.1
 
vax>ucx sho ver
 Digital TCP/IP Services

  on a VAX 4000-500
running OpenVMS V6.2
 
when issueing the command
 
 
 
VAX> mcr ucx$nslookup
>server sbevax.sbe.saskatoon.sk.ca
Default Server:  sbevax.sbe.saskatoon.sk.ca
Address:  198.169.140.2 <fake addr for example sake>
>set q=any
>ls -d sbe.saskatoon.sk.ca
[sbevax.sbe.saskatoon.sk.ca]
 sbe.saskatoon.sk.ca.           SOA   sbevax.sbe.saskatoon.sk.ca

*** ls: error receiving zone transfer:
  result: NXDOMAIN (3), answers = 2419, authority = 24947, additional =
27489
*** Can't list domain sbe.saskatoon.sk.ca: Unspecified error
 
 
 
So the zone transfer fails part of the way through
I look at out <domain>.db and al the addr look fine
so any ideas about this
 
 


The Answer is :

 
  Please acquire and apply the current ECO kit for TCP/IP Services for
  OpenVMS (UCX) V4.1 (or upgrade to UCX V4.2 with the associated ECO kit)
  and try this test again.  Then -- if the test fails -- please contact
  the customer support center.  Expect to be asked details about the
  remote systems present your current DNS configuration.
