I just noticed that the zone frankpr.se had the following entry:
 	CNAME	web.infotropic.com

Since this isnt a legal entry i gave it a try to change to an A record 
instead. Switched on recursion and problem dissapeared...

Still a bit strange why it happend thou.

Same here the symptom dissapeared when i swapped the CNAME to an A record.


I guess these two bug imply that there is something strange hapening 
inside pdns that shouldnt. Or?
