All, I'm setting up a name server for work. I've gone into the redhat-config-bind tool, and I think I have all of the zones configured correctly. I was able to add the service with chkconfig, and I was able to start the named service with /etc/init.d/named start. I allowed port 53, both tcp and udp through the firewall, with the following two iptables rules:
-A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 53 --syn -j ACCEPT -A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p udp -m udp --sport 53 -j ACCEPT and restarted iptables. I still couldn't get anything from dig, so I tried a netstat -tap | grep named: tcp 0 0 orion.osbi.state:domain *:* LISTEN 21389/named tcp 0 0 localhost:domain *:* LISTEN 21389/named tcp 0 0 localhost:rndc *:* LISTEN 21389/named Note that orion.osbi.state.ok.us is the name of the machine. This seems to show that the named daemon is only listening to itself for dns queries, correct? How/where do I tell the named daemon to listen to external queries? Thanks!
