On the machine I am installing Gentoo on, name lookups work properly. But when I try to do a lookup from another machine on my local network tcpdump shows that the udp packet is being rejected. An ICMP packet is sent back with "udp port domain is unreachable".
This may be a problem with shorewall... I am using configuration files for bind and gentoo that used to work with Mandrake. I can do other things from machines on the local network such as ssh to the server, dhcp requests, ping, view web pages (if I use the IP address since DNS doesn't work!), etc. In fact almost everything else works except for DNS lookups.
My shorewall rules are set to accept all udp packets from the local network to the firewall.
I have wasted hours fiddling with shorewall settings, reading bind and shorewall documentation, recompiling kernel (gentoo-sources) with different network and netfilter options, with no success.
Any help would be appreciated.
