I am running Picasso still (can't stand the thought of rebooting to
bring up Colgate yet.  Rebooting puts a dent in my uptime.) and am
suddenly having a problem with named.  I think it has happened before
and cleared up but this time it has been going for a day or so.

Here is the problem from /var/log/messages:

Nov 14 09:43:53 falcon named[465]: sysquery: no addrs found for NS (F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET)
Nov 14 09:43:53 falcon named[465]: sysquery: no addrs found for NS (G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET)
Nov 14 09:43:53 falcon named[465]: sysquery: no addrs found for NS (A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET)
Nov 14 09:43:53 falcon named[465]: sysquery: no addrs found for NS (H.ROOT-SERVERS.NET)
Nov 14 09:43:53 falcon named[465]: sysquery: no addrs found for NS (B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET)
Nov 14 09:43:53 falcon named[465]: sysquery: no addrs found for NS (C.ROOT-SERVERS.NET)
Nov 14 09:43:53 falcon named[465]: sysquery: no addrs found for NS (D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET)
Nov 14 09:43:53 falcon named[465]: sysquery: no addrs found for NS (E.ROOT-SERVERS.NET)
Nov 14 09:43:53 falcon named[465]: sysquery: no addrs found for NS (I.ROOT-SERVERS.NET)
Nov 14 09:43:53 falcon named[465]: ns_req: no address for root server


I am using the latest named.root:

;       This file holds the information on root name servers needed to
;       initialize cache of Internet domain name servers
;       (e.g. reference this file in the "cache  .  <file>"
;       configuration file of BIND domain name servers).
;
;       This file is made available by InterNIC registration services
;       under anonymous FTP as
;           file                /domain/named.root
;           on server           FTP.RS.INTERNIC.NET
;       -OR- under Gopher at    RS.INTERNIC.NET
;           under menu          InterNIC Registration Services (NSI)
;              submenu          InterNIC Registration Archives
;           file                named.root
;
;       last update:    Nov 8, 1995
;       related version of root zone:   1995110800

Things appear to be working normally except for the messages that 
rapidly fill my system messages log and nslookup can't lookup the
names though host can:

tyson@falcon:host I.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
I.ROOT-SERVERS.NET has address 192.36.148.17
tyson@falcon:host 192.36.148.17
Name: i.root-servers.net
Address: 192.36.148.17
Aliases:

tyson@falcon:nslookup I.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
Server:  falcon.rwii.com
Address:  207.22.3.1

*** falcon.rwii.com can't find I.ROOT-SERVERS.NET: Non-existent host/domain
tyson@falcon:nslookup 192.36.148.17
Server:  falcon.rwii.com
Address:  207.22.3.1

Name:    i.root-servers.net
Address:  192.36.148.17

It appears to be only nslookup by name that fails.  Nslookup by IP works
and 'host' works both ways.

I had not made any changes to any of the named config files when it
started failing.

Any help?

Thanks,
Ty
