I'm testing my external BIND 9.6.1 systems with <a href="http://www.checkdns.net/powercheck.aspx">http://www.checkdns.net/powercheck.aspx</a>. Outbound resolution is fine. Internal resolution is fine. External resolution seems to be the problem. My firewall allows port 53 UDP and TCP.<br>
<br>The messages I get are:<br><br>Found NS record: <a href="http://castor.lazarusalliance.com">castor.lazarusalliance.com</a>[71.12.99.115], was resolved to IP address by <a href="http://G.GTLD-SERVERS.NET">G.GTLD-SERVERS.NET</a><br>
