Even from localhost I can't open port 53.

[root at naboo /etc]# hostname; domainname; ifconfig -a | grep 'inet addr'
naboo
swsim.com
          inet addr:66.12.147.134  Bcast:66.12.147.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0

[root at naboo /etc]# telnet localhost 53
Trying 127.0.0.1...

[root at naboo /etc]# telnet 66.12.147.134 53
Trying 66.12.147.134...

Thanks!
