Sry for all the inline post but Im bouncing between 2 issues at the moment
here is a partial copy of my config on the nameserver in question :
options {
directory "/var/named";
dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
/*
* If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
* to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source
* directive below. Previous versions of BIND always asked
* questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 uses an unprivileged
* port by default.
*/
// query-source address * port 53;
version "Surely you must be joking";
notify no;
allow-recursion { 63.147.8.0/24 ;
63.147.9.0/24 ;
63.144.48.0/24 ;
65.121.158.0/23;
208.44.160.0/24 ;
};
allow-transfer { 10.0.0.7;
};
forwarders {
10.0.0.7;
10.0.0.9;
};
};
//

//

inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey; };
};
zone "." IN {
type hint;
file "named.ca";
};
zone "localhost" IN {
type master;
file "localhost.zone";
allow-update { none; };
};
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "named.local";
allow-update { none; };
};

Thanks Dave---------------------------------------------------------------------------------It's generally a good practice to run a DNS resolver (aka caching nameserver) directly on a QMT host, in which case you would have "nameserver 127.0.0.1" as the first line in your resolv.conf file (nameservers are tried in the sequence they're listed in this file). I personally only specify this and at most one other, since if the first one isn't working then your performance will suffer significantly due to timeouts.The easiest way I presently use is to install and use powerDNS's recursor:# yum install pdns-recursor # service pdns-recursor start # chkconfig pdns-recorsor on That, along with the proper /etc/resolv.conf file, should get you going. To test, use the "dig" command: # dig qmailtoaster.comwill show you which resolver was used to satisfy the request. dig is a very powerful too. "man dig" for details.
