Re: [CentOS] help needed with DNS server

From: Rudi Ahlers rudiahlers@gmail.com

I'm setting up a DNS server on CentOS 5.2, but can't get it to listen to the outside IP address for DNS queries. There's no firewall installed yet.

Here's the BIND config options:

options { /* make named use port 53 for the source of all queries, to allow * firewalls to block all ports except 53: */

 query-source port 53;

// Put files that named is allowed to write in the data/ directory:
directory "/var/named"; // the default
dump-file             "data/cache_dump.db";
statistics-file     "data/named_stats.txt";

/* memstatistics-file "data/named_mem_stats.txt"; */ };

Yet, it only listes on 127.0.0.1

What am I missing?

I think, you need to tell him on which IP to listen to... See 'listen-on' in named.conf man page.
