BIND 9 ignoring out-of-zone data
Last Updated: 8/13/15
If you get the error ignoring out-of-zone data when you start your BIND 9 server than you found the right article. There are three possible causes.
1) You are using subdomains and name servers in a way that BIND 8 would allow, but BIND 9 does NOT like. See item 6 here: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/networking/news/dnsandbind_0401.html
2) You have a zone file for a domain mydomain.com and you are listing a record with a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for another domain (www.someotherdomain.com), which is not allowed.
3) This is the one that I ran into and I think is probably the most common for new bind server setups. A TYPO in your named.conf file for the zone / domain. Example: mydoamin.com instead of mydomain.com.
4) The user running the bind service does not have access/permission to the zone files.
