I'm completely stumped by this one.
I have a FreeBSD server (4.4-STABLE) running Bind 8.2.4.
It is configured as a master server for my domain, and also configured as
a caching nameserver.
For some reason, nslookups and dig queries work for my domain, but they
time out when querying any other domain.
Examples:
==============================================================
# nslookup mydomain.com 127.0.0.1
Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1
Name: mydomain.com
Address: 123.123.123.123
==============================================================
# dig @localhost mydomain.com
; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> @localhost mydomain.com
; (1 server found)
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 6

Here's a copy of my named.conf file:
acl slaves {
123.123.123.124;
};
options {
directory "/etc/namedb";
pid-file "/var/named/named.pid";
allow-transfer { slaves; };
};
# type domain source host/file backup file
zone "." {
type hint;
file "/etc/namedb/named.cache";
};
zone "mydomain.com" {
type master;
file "db.mydomain.com";
notify yes;
also-notify { 123.123.123.124; };
};
The named.root file is the one included with FreeBSD; I have tried
downloading a new copy with "dig @a.root-servers.net . ns > named.root"
with no luck.
I must be missing something - can anyone give me a hand?
(please copy me by email - I'm not subscribed to the list)
Thanks,
M.
