The Problem was:
**********************************************************************
I updated the serial number in the SOA record in my primary name
server from 93072201 to 93072202
and restart named, but nobody else has tne new information.
We are running here DNS without NIS.
The operating system is SunOS 4.1.1.
This is the SOA record :
----------------------------------------------------------------------
$ORIGIN jct.ac.il.
@ in SOA pesach.jct.ac.il. avraham.brachot.jct.ac.il. (
93072202 ; serial version# yymmddvv
7200 ; refresh secondary 2 hours
3600 ; retry after failed refresh 1 hr
3628800 ; expire -maxlife of data on 2ndry 42dy
7200 ) ; min - default ttl
in ns pesach.jct.ac.il.
IN NS brachot.jct.ac.il.
IN NS relay.huji.ac.il.
;
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I paid attention for the fact that in the primary name server
the serial number is updated .
I get this with nslookup :
----------------------------------------------------------------------
AUTHORITY RECORDS:
-> jct.ac.il origin = pesach.jct.ac.il
mail addr = avraham.brachot.jct.ac.il
serial=93072202, refresh=7200, retry=3600, expire=3628800,
min=7200
----------------------------------------------------------------------
BUT in other computers, I get a strange serial number "-2087037295"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
AUTHORITY RECORDS
-> jct.ac.il origin = pesach.jct.ac.il
mail addr = avraham.brachot.jct.ac.il
serial=-2087037295, refresh=7200, retry=3600, expire=3628800,
min=7200
----------------------------------------------------------------------
**********************************************************************
The Solution:
Well, now the problem is resolved.
I deleted the backup file for my zone on my secondary server systems,
(brachot.jct.ac.il. , relay.huji.ac.il.) and restarted named with
kill -HUP `cat /etc/named.pid`
