I'm trying to do this behind my firewall, so it' shouldn't be in the picute (I hope). This DNS server is for local network use only, and will not be available to the Internet. I have my main server (named SRV - how original is that?? <grins>), which is running various services, including BIND. When I do nslookup from a console session on SRV, names get resolved - though if I try to resolve "www.open2space.com", I get my external address - not the internal address indicated in my zone file. There are a few workstations on the network - one of them is called "SAGE". After I make a change to the bind config on SRV, I modify the /etc/resolv.conf file on SAGE to point to SRV's IP address. Then try to resolve names via nslookup/dig, or even just ping - in these cases name resolution outright fails - I don't even get the external addresses returned to me.... hmmm... maybe the firewall is coming into play here.... It's setup to be a caching name server - maybe it's intercepting all traffic on port 53?? This sounds plausible, but not likely... I'll see if I can turn off DNS on the firewall anyways... Thanks for the suggestion....
