"invalid response" errors found in named.run log
The version of bind is BIND 9.10.5-P3 id:7d5676f One day, I found that the size of named.run is increasing very quickly. And a lot of "invalid response" entries were spotted in the log. Details is as follows (I replace the sensitive info with )
DNS format error from #53 resolving .bf.bf.node.epc.mnc.mcc.3gppnetwork.org/AAAA for client 169.254.4.50#51099: Name epc.mnc.mcc.3gppnetwork.org (SOA) not subdomain of zone node.epc.mnc.mcc.3gppnetwork.org -- invalid response
The response related to the above log is as follows:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 50664 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUESTION: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: ; EDNS: version: 0, flags: do; udp: 4096 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;.bf.bf.node.epc.mnc.mcc.3gppnetwork.org. IN AAAA

Normally, the FQDN should be cached as a NXRRSET record as follows: .bf.bf.node.epc.mnc.mcc.3gppnetwork.org. 8412 -AAAA ;-$NXRRSET
But when the issue happens, it cannot be cached, I guess it's related to the "invalid response" log.
From the error log, it mentions "zone node.epc.mnc.mcc.3gppnetwork.org", but I'm wondering where the zone "node.epc.mnc.mcc.3gppnetwork.org" comes from? I cannot found the related SOA record in the dump file.
