For a quick test (given that you have more than one resolving DNS server for your clients): 1) use "ps -ef", look for the "named" process, write down all commandline arguments that are listed after the process name 2) stop the BIND DNS Server from the start-script: /etc/rc.d/init.d/named stop 3) on the commandline as user "root", start the BIND nameserver with "named -4 <all other arguments from 1)>" 4) test 5a) if it works, find out how to configure extra parameters for the BIND DNS Server on your operating system, add the the "-4" parameter 5b) stop the running BIND process with "rndc stop" (if RNDC is configured correct [it should!]), else do a hard "killall named" 6) start the BIND nameserver again from the startscript -- Carsten _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
