As in listen-on { 216.154.117.227; 192.168.1.1; }; > tcp6 0 0 ::1.953 *.* LISTEN > tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.953 *.* LISTEN > tcp4 0 0 192.168.1.1.53 *.* LISTEN Looks like it's not seeing named.conf, assuming that 216.154.117.227 exists as the address of a local interface at the time when named is started, as Mel mentioned. This can be a problem with ppp or mpd .. What does 'realpath /etc/named' say? Are you using the FreeBSD default: % realpath /etc/namedb /var/named/etc/namedb % ls -l /etc/namedb lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 21 Dec 12 02:37 /etc/namedb -> /var/named/etc/namedb If you run '/etc/rc.d/named stop' and then '/etc/rc.d/named start', what shows up in /var/log/messages ? What's in /etc/rc.conf concerning named ? Any clues from 'rndc status'? cheers, Ian _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
