Problem with .fr domains [TEST check if server is really recursive]: answer refused from server (IN/SOA: fr.)

[Markus Ferlitsch]

Hi,

what did you change to the configuration from yesterday (error to

Could you please post your mararc and zonefiles?

I also have now the same problem like you yesterday. :-(

Thanks a lot!
