Bind9.5.1b1 problem in answering remote queries?

[Wael Shahin]

Hello,
Make sure your bind is listening on the LAN interface and not only on the
loopback. if it does then you might want to allow recursion.

You can check the port status by using nmap -sU -p 53 <ipaddress>

Also use dig for better DNS debugging

Good luck
