Try doing a fully-qualified domain name query with dig. That should work, as it's supposed to be a master server for endoframe.net. e.g. dig front.endoframe.net I've never gotten dig to work with short hostnames, it seems to work at a lower level than other things which will add on the domain names you put in the search parameter in /etc/resolv.conf. But, I'd expect no answer, rather than refused. Also try getting it to resolve an internet domain name, such as example.com. That should show whether it works as a full name server. > ;; QUESTION SECTION: > ;front.

Have you opened port 53 on the name server's firewall? Though, I'd expect no answer, rather than a refused. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
