Make sure your box has permission to connect /to/ these systems. The rules below allow the DNS servers to send things *to* your box, but don't allow your box to send things TO those servers. You need to give your box the ability to send the request /out/ to them in the first place. The hostname hangup is due to it trying to resolve the domain. Once you get the DNS resolving that problem will disappear. > I have explicitly added these rules to my /etc/rc.firewall: > > $fwcmd add allow udp from 66.135.144.2 53 to $oip > $fwcmd add allow udp from 66.135.128.68 53 to $oip > $fwcmd add allow tcp from 66.135.144.2 53 to $oip > $fwcmd add allow tcp from 66.135.128.68 53 to $oip > > (where $oip is my external IP address). > > Another possibly related thing is that on bootup, my server hangs > indefinitely as the initializing "hostname" part.
