Hi all,

My CentOS 5 nameserver is seemingly unable to be queried by anything but itself (localhost, 127.0.0.1). From any other machine, including the primary which *does* transfer zone files correctly to this machine (which is secondary), requests time out.

I've put SELinux into permissive mode, so I don't think that's an issue.

/var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf begins thus:

options { directory "/var/named/slaves"; listen-on { localhost; 127.0.0.1; 64.135.16.15; }; }; =====================================

Are you using views? If you only have a 'localhost' view (kind how namecacheserver is set up), then no one else can query.

Do you have match-clients and match-destinations set up? I think the default for these are 'any', but if you have them and they are wrong?

I've placed a copy of resolv.conf in /etc/ as well as /var/named/chroot/etc as a result of seeing this message in /var/log/messages (the file in /etc/ had been a symlink to the file in the chrooted path before this)

Aug 22 13:10:06 sunspot restorecond: Will not restore a file with more than one hard link (/etc/resolv.conf) No such file or directory

/etc/init.d/named status returns:

[root@sunspot etc]# /etc/init.d/named status number of zones: 172 debug level: 0 xfers running: 0 xfers deferred: 0 soa queries in progress: 0 query logging is OFF recursive clients: 0/1000 tcp clients: 0/100 server is up and running

So....while I'm sure it's simple, I'm stumped.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
