After my primary (and only) internal nameserver blew a power supply yesterday, I am now motivated enough to bring on a secondary nameserver for internal use. My primary is running on a Debian box and I have had no problems geting them all (internal & external) configured. I have an openBSD box running dhcp & squid, and I just thought it would be easier to lump on bind services as well. I have it configured to the point where bind starts 'named -b /var/named/named.boot -t /var/named' and doing a 'nslookup' locally works as well. The file '/var/named/namedb/mydomain.bak' has been transfered over, and all appears well locally. Here is the problem: WHen I set my /etc/resolv.conf on my notebook (another debain install :-) to have this new server as my first nameserver, it chokes. It is not answering queries. I did a 'netstat -lan | grep 53' on the new nameserver, and it appears as if it is only listening on tcp port, not udp. Did I miss something somewhere? Any tips? v/r Mike Did
