Hi, After looking at the results of your dig, it looks as though you were able to resolve something using the server at 12.159.185.248. Can a few other people go through and try this, something like dig @12.159.185.248 bl.blueshore.net any or something? Maybe it's the machine I'm using on the "outside" to test with...

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?
