first, if you turn query logging on you'll likely get some more hints.

do you have a:

   allow-query {
     localhost;
     <ipnumber>;
    };

directive in the top options section? i think the server defaults to "all" if you don't have one, but i'm not positive about that. if you do have one, and only have "localhost" in, that's likely your problem.

Thanks for your replies.

@Rick, My understanding was that the default was 'any' for 'allow-query' and so the only thing (other than the zone requests) in options in my named.conf is

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

I'll try adding an allow-query statement, using 'all' and see if that resolves the issue (no pun intended <g>)

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?

@Robert, No I am not using any explicitly configured 'views', nor do I have match-clients or match-destinations set up as I also believe that these are 'any' by default.

Kind regards, ~Ray
