Hi, Yes, bl.blueshore.net will turn up something, because there are currently 2 other servers that are serving that zone. However, 12.159.185.248 is an additional server, that I want to serve that zone. So, dig @12.159.185.248 bl.blueshore.net *should* turn up something. In answer to the acl's, no I have not setup any restrictions as of current. I wanted to get it at least working, before locking it down ;-) Thanks, Richard -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steve Cowles Sent: Thursday, November 27, 2003 11:16 PM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: DNS not responding On Thu, 2003-11-27 at 21:40, Richard Bewley wrote: > - External client makes DNS request. > This does not work. > + When this happens, I only see in named.conf that the query was > made, but from the outside world, the connection times out. Hmmm! when I query that IP address for bl.blueshore.net, I get a response, but if I query that IP for my domain name, I get server times out (see below). Is this behavior by design?. I mean, I configure my DNS server to not do recursive queries (external view only) for any domains outside the ones that its an SOA for. In other words, it would return the root name servers, not the answer to the query for bl.bluecurve.net if anyone tried to use my DNS server. 1) Do you have any named/bind (not cisco) acl's defined in named.conf? 2) What's the setting of allow-query in named.conf?
