I recently upgraded my name server to CentOs 4.4 from CentOs 4.3 and bind was one of the many packages upgraded. I get the following message when performing an rndc reload " rndc reload rndc: connection to remote host closed This may indicate that the remote server is using an older version of the command protocol, this host is not authorized to connect, or the key is invalid." which odd as I am doing this on the master dns server for the zones. I made sure that my key in rndc.key and rndc.conf match. Anyone else having similar issues? Thanks, Eric
