Hello,<br>
<br>
I am actually running BSD, but since this is<br>
a DNS issue, i think I doesn't matter.<br>
<br>
Our DNS Server is not Y2K compliant, so I <br>
built another one. It has a newer version<br>
of BSD, so also probably a newer version<br>
of BIND. <br>
<br>
I simply copied /etc/named* and /etc/resolv.conf to the new<br>
server and gave it the IP address of the<br>
old server. I did a cp -pR to copy <br>
directories and permissions. <br>
<br>
Now, named is running and answering queries<br>
to our domains fine, but it can't resolve<br>
remote domains. It just times out. I checked the root.cche and it is the same on both machines. Am I overlooking something?<br>
<br>
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!<br>

 
Hi,<br><br>You must then be running BIND 8.X which received requests not on standard domain port. What you could do is add this access list on your router<br><br>access-list (incoming acl no) permit tcp any eq domain host (dns server's IP) gt 1023<br><br>This should work...let me if it solved your problem.<br><br>regards<br><br>Sunil.P
