This is not the case. The slave zones are corectly writen and the server is ok for direct connected addresses. The problem apears on addresses behind a router (just a simple routing process and no firewall and even with or without snat). Many thanks Charles, but I need more help or I will bi forced to install a Centos5 one. V.

Thanks The problem may be that named.conf has file assignments to directories owned by root, where it cannot create them. Make sure that if named has to write to them (including create them), they point to one of the data directories, e.g.: options { directory "/var/named"; dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db"; statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt"; This is especially important for slaves, which get zone transfers from the master(s): options { directory "/var/named/slaves"; dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db"; statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt"; Note that these point to the chrooted diretories, so they are actually below /var/named/chroot. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
