Subj : Things that piss you off...

At work I got a ticket escalated to me. Resolving an hostname to an A
record stopped working.

Look me ages to figure this one out and to gut a long story short, Bind
9.16 (and maybe prior versions) hard limit the number of A record
results to 100. Someone decided it would be a good idea to make
additional A records to bring the number to 107.

It seems things were changed due to some sort of CVE that stops DNS
returning those results unless you disable the check in the named.conf
file.

I hate it when things change but nobody actually makes it obvious what
was changed...time I'll never get back.

Anyone else pissed off by Linux recently?
