I have 2 dns servers running the same zones,hints and named.conf each of them acts as a master (I do most of the updates of the zones i have through a script)
I'm running a simple query from both of the box and it seems that I can't query the 2nd box. #1 box $ dig @1.1.1.10 www.yahoo.com ; <<>> DiG 9.3.4 <<>> @1.1.1.10 www.yahoo.com ; (1 server found) ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 31303 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 4, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;www.yahoo.com.

I'd did a bit of googling, and most of the posts i see regarding this is a firewall issue. any help would be awesomely appreciated. -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
