Hello, For the life of me I can not find the details of the problem: I have two servers in question, both are authoritative/cache servers. One server is auth for a few zones and the other one for a few zones due to a split hosting environment. Running Bind 9.3.5-P2 and Bind 9.3.4-P1 on CentOS. For this example I will identify them as server 1 and server 2. Also I have checked the logs nothing.
Server 1 can not resolve domains at Server 2 and vice versa. It worked before I am not sure what happed. I thought it was the root hints so I updated and not the culprit. When I issue a dig here is the output [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# dig company.com ; <<>> DiG 9.3.4-P1 <<>> company.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# dig company2.com ; <<>> DiG 9.3.5-P2 <<>> company2.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 6067 ;; flags: qr rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 13, ADDITIONAL: 2 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;wizart1.com.

Both servers will resolve the domains they are auth for any other domain not hosted on the server except the ones on each others server if this makes sense. Thanks in advanced. Otis
