I had this a while ago and never found the problem. named would simply either stop working or just unload itself (normally the latter) with nothing in the logs at all. I updated to bind-9.1.1rc1 and all has been fine since with the exception that an nslookup would not return to a prompt after execution... control C would restore the prompt. I havev't bothered about it as time has been short of late.

It ran without any trouble until a few days ago. Suddenly dns does not work anymore (I use bind 8.2.3-0.potato.1 as a caching only nameserver). When I do a nslookup on www.debian.org for example, I get the following result: > www.debian.org Server: localhost Address: 127.0.0.1 *** localhost can't find www.debian.org: No response from server > I have added some -l rules to my ipchains script to find out what is happening. The dns requests from my debian box to my isp's dns server seems to be ok (masquaraded udp request to port 53 of the ip address of my isp's dns server). However, the dns server seems to respond only with a icmp packet on port 3: Jun 14 16:50:45 debian kernel: Packet log: input - ppp0 PROTO=1 194.178.9.133:3 62.45.15.91:3 L=56 S=0x00 I=21704 F=0x0000 T=63 (#1) I would expect the dns server to respond with an udp packet on port 53. I am not sure about that however, because I do not know much about dns. If I keep trying to resolve an address it sometimes works and once the address is in the cache on my debian box I can keep resolving that address without problems. I have connected my modem to a windoze box directly and it worked without problems. Can anybody tell what could be wrong here please? I have not changed a thing on my debian box before it stopped working correctly. TIA, Robert-Jan Kuijvenhoven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
