I'm reluctant to upgrade beyond what comes from redhat. I don't belive that's
what the problem is. I was previously at 8.2.2 and all of a sudden it stopped
working. That was about a month ago. I tried upgrading to the new rpm and that
hasn't helped. Also, the only thing I've been playng with is ipchains on the
firewall... however, because of the testing I mentioned below, I feel it's not
a firewall problem. Also, I don't have any automatic software updating happening.
I tried other logging commands... but I have since lost them. And they didn't
tell me much... my named recieves the query... sends the query... but doesn't
recieve an answer (my interpretation of the log).
Thanks.
/var/named/named.cache is below.
