Actually, there is a better DNS server than Bind. It is also easier to configure .. check out:

I'm struggling with bind as well, but for what it's worth - check the IP in your allow transfer statement against the IPs everywhere else. - Richard On Fri, 2003-01-31 at 00:48, Tasha Smith wrote:Hiii,
Im trying to get my Bind Server to work. I followed the tutorial by
Doug Hunley from here : http://www.linux-sxs.org/bind9.html . Im a
newbie soo sorry if my questions seem kind of off :) Here is what i
im trying to set it up on (Redhat 7.3-2.3.20, BIND-9.2.2rc1)
I followed each step exactly and things went smoothly. The only thing
i changed was in the "/etc/named.conf" file
1> // whom do we allow to do zone tranfers
allow-transfer { 192.168.1.0/24; }; # to my internal
interface ip addy(eth1) # 192.168.0.1
2> // tell Bind to check the names in zone files
// since it no longer does this by default
// (currently unimplemented)
//check-names master warn; //<---commented this line out
3>// specify what interfaces/ips to listen on
// as the default is all of them
listen-on { 192.168.1.10; 127.0.0.1; }; //<----changed to
my LAN interface 192.168.0.1
4> And i changed the KEYS to the keys in the files /etc/rndc.key and
/etc/rndc.conf to the keys that i have.
And then i went to my windows machines and changed thier DNS addresses
to 192.168.0.1 <-----eth1
Here is my setup soo you have a better idea!
I have 1 LINUX machine acting as my "Firewall/ROUTER and DNS server"
and 2 windows machines behind it. I was using my ISP's DNS server for
the windows machines but now i want the linux machine totake care of
it.
If anyone can help me from here on some steps to make sure everything
is working. Casue when i run NSLOOUP from my windows machine i get DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.0.1: Timed out
*** Default servers are not available
Default Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.0.1
And that is even after i trun my firewall off on my LINUX machine.
Thanks guys :)
