Good call, but you left out the “how”: $ sudo firewall-cmd --add-service dns $ sudo firewall-cmd --add-service dns --permanent Without the second command, it affects the runtime firewall only, and without the first, it doesn’t take effect until the next reboot. To the OP: DNS needs both TCP *and* UDP service on port 53. Your telnet test is incomplete, and in fact covers only some of the lesser-used code paths in DNS servers. (Zone transfers, etc.) Most DNS service needs UDP only, and expects that to work; there is no fallback to TCP if UDP fails. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
