I cannot access nameserver from outside. I have tried query source * 53 directive and no result. Ports 53 udp and tcp are open at the pix. I am using Bind 8 on a SuSE Linux 7.2 Box. It seems as if the requests are coming in, just not answered. Clients on the inside of the firewall can resolve with no problem. lsof -i -N -P reveals: named 4138 root 4u IPv4 92246 UDP *:53 named 4138 root 20u IPv4 92242 UDP localhost:53 named 4138 root 21u IPv4 92243 TCP localhost:53 (LISTEN) named 4138 root 22u IPv4 92244 UDP ns1.my.box:53 named 4138 root 23u IPv4 92245 TCP ns1.my.box:53 (LISTEN) Quality is a mind-set, not an event.
