You can specify networks, or even a specific to listen on. That's the IP it will listen on, not some IP out on the world for it to listen to. You've set your named to listen to *any* IPv6 interface. You can do the same with IPv4. That's *IF* you want connections from outside through to your server. And, your firewall has to let them through, too. > also, do you know where to look up the below query log entry for this > failing request. > > 13-Nov-2020 02:18:51.600 queries: info: client @0x7fa3f41c9760 > 172.253.1.1#54405 (linuxlighthouse.com): view external-wan-view: > query: linuxlighthouse.com IN A -E(0)DC (10.0.0.101) Elsewhere in your config, you had this parameter: file "/var/log/named/default.log" That's the file to look through. Confusingly, you seem to have log entries pasted in the middle of your configuration file. That log line suggests on that date and time a query from the 172... IP address was answered using the data for the external-wan-view of the DNS record. You can find out more data about that IP using "dig -x 172.253.1.1" and "whois 172.253.1.1" commands. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1127.19.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 25 17:23:54 UTC 2020 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
