Hello,
I am using Debian GNU/Linux Etch with bind 9.3.4 and  had  the  need  to
install the server on an other machine for a  migration  issue.  Because
bind9 refused to work on it, I installed it on a P2 and it was working.

Now I try to resolv the problem WHY this pig want  work  and  the  issue
seems to be:

----[ '/etc/bind/named.conf.options' ]----------------------------------
options {
        directory "/var/cache/bind";

        // forwarders {
        //      0.0.0.0;
        // };

        auth-nxdomain no;    # conform to RFC1035

        listen-on-v6 { any; };
        listen-on { 192.168.0.74; };
};
------------------------------------------------------------------------

While the server on which it is running on is 192.168.0.69.

If I restart bind9 there are not a  singel  error  and  it  show  up  in
'pstree -pan'.  On my Laptop I have:

----[ '/etc/resolv.conf' ]----------------------------------------------
nameserver 192.168.0.74
nameserver 192.168.0.69
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I get always:

----[ command 'host -a samba3.private.tamay-dogan.net' ]----------------
Trying "samba3.private.tamay-dogan.net"
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changeing listen-on to 192.168.0.69 give:

----[ command 'host -a samba3.private.tamay-dogan.net' ]----------------
Trying "samba3.private.tamay-dogan.net"
