@@ -265,3 +265,33 @@ address 127.0.0.1 and the IPv6 loopback address ::1, and you do not
have IPv6 fully operational. Change the "default-server localhost" to
"default-server 127.0.0.1" to make sure rdnc does not try to contact
the name server using IPv6.

+Q: I have Freebsd 4.4 and "rndc-confgen -a" just sits there.
+
+A: /dev/random is not configured. Use rndcontrol(8) to tell the kernel
+to use certian interupts as a source of random events. You can make this
+permanent by setting rand_irqs in /etc/rc.conf.
+
+e.g.
+ /etc/rc.conf
+ rand_irqs="3 14 15"

+
+Q: Why is named listening on UDP port other than 53?
+
+A: Named uses a system selected port to make queries of other nameservers.
+This behaviour can be overridden by using query-source to lock down the
+port and/or address.
+
+
+Q: I get error messages like "multiple RRs of singleton type" and
+"CNAME and other data" when transfering a zone. What does this mean?
+
+A: These indicate a malformed master zone. You can identify the
+exact records involved by transfering the zone using dig then
+running named-checkzone on it.
+
+ e.g.
+ dig axfr example.com @master-server > tmp
+ named-checkzone example.com tmp
