Dear All,
I am very new to Bind and FreeBSD.
I have just configured a Local DNS server using the built-in Bind
9.3.1 on a FreeBSD 5.4 machine.
My problem is that the machine can cache queries on the localhost
and loop back (127.0.0.1) interface only.
I have a public static IP on this machine too and I can't seem to
query the caching name server from my local network.
In Linux, this is no problem. I just can't seem to get Bind to work
as in my local network. It works only on the loopback interface.
The default /etc/namedb/named.conf configuration file for BIND says:
| // If named is being used only as a local resolver, this is a safe
| default. // For named to be accessible to the network, comment this
| option, specify // the proper IP address, or delete this option.
| listen-on { 127.0.0.1; };
It looks like if you comment out that option, it will listen on * by
default. You could also add the other IP address on which you want
named to listen.

Dear Chris,
Thank you for your help. I did comment and added my public static IP
like the following:
listen-on { 202.x.x.x; }; # My Static IP
Now when I do from my local PC:
dig yahoo.com @202.x.x.x , I can do DNS lookups.
But when I try doing that from another computer on my network, I can't
do any DNS lookups.
Is that anything that I miss?
