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; }; }; // // a caching only nameserver config // controls { 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; }; }; On 01/25/2012 02:12 PM, Eric Shubert wrote:

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.
