All,

I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this issue. I'm running BIND version 9.9.5 at 44.60.44.3. I just recently upgraded from 9.8 because I thought it would solve a very weird issue that I'm experiencing.

I allow all to to lookup 44.in-addr.arpa and ampr.org; and it works. BUT, some reverse records always time out.

I have seen this many times and never have been able to solve it. Some ampr.org DNS servers time out on some PTR records. It comes and goes, can be OK for months and then come back. When you focus on it to debug the issue it often disappears under your hands. No idea what it is.
