When I had a look at the new config file vs my old config file I noticed one line was different. include "/etc/rndc.key"; My old DNS config file never had that line in it.. yet it worked... however, when I upgraded to the new bind, I uploaded my old config file and bam things started not working. After inserting the above line into the new config file everything worked fine again. Other question one has to make sure is that port 53 is open in your IPTABLES / firewall? Probly doesn't help but I thought id try =) James
