Hi all,

I am setting up a secondary DNS server  on a linux slackware 3.5 box with
kernel 2.0.36.
I have other machine running OK as primary dns,  but the in the secondary it
seems that the named is only listening to the local loopback interface.

/var/log/messages :

Mar 16 20:27:16 stjames named[15090]: starting.  named 8.1.2 Sat May 23
13:48:59 CDT 1998 ^Iroot at darkstar:/tmp/BIND-8.1.2-REL/src/bin/named

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^---------?? shoud'nt have all other interfaces
?

Also an nslookup from a session on the machine works great with 127.0.0.1 as
server , but when you specify server as being other interface
(200.210.128.2)  it issues the following message :

" *** stjames.fastec.com.br can't find alol.com.br: No response from server
"

here is my named.conf :

options {
        directory "/var/named";
};
zone "." {
        type hint;
        file "named.root";
};
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "127.0.0.db";
};
zone "alol.com.br" {
        type slave;
        file "alol.db";
        masters { 200.210.128.1;};
};

my resolv.conf :

search fastec.com.br
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 200.210.128.2


and the 127.0.0.1.db file :

@       in      soa     ns.stjames.fastec.com.br.
fabio.fastec.fastec.com.br. (
                                                2000160301      ;serial
                                                8H      ;refresh
                                                2H      ;retry
                                                1W      ;expire
                                                1D )    ;minimum
                ns      ns.stjames.fastec.com.br.
1               ptr     localhost.

I really apreciate any directions one could give me !
Thanks in advance for any help !
