DJBDNS Help, please

I have 3 nameservers set up with TinyDNS, but only one is working correctly...these servers are:

ns1.radicalcomputingconcepts.com (Lenny)
ns2.radicalcomputingconcepts.com (Etch)
67.14.192.56 (Lenny)

Tinydns is running on all three machines as confirmed by svstat and the log files present in /etc/service/tinydns/log/main/current

The issue I'm having is that when querying the servers via dig @servername...only the ns2.radicalcomputingconcepts.com responds correctly.

Even if I log into the servers and query with dig @localhost, or dig@ IP to the servers themselves, the response is,
"; (1 server found)
;; global options: +cmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached"

a test name to query for correct results is as follows:
dig @ns2.radicalcomputingconcepts.com www.keystonedesign.com

 

What's the output of

Code:

netstat -tap

and

Code:

netstat -uap

on the not-working server?

 

netstat

tinyDNS is not listening on all interfaces. Can you configure it to listen on all interfaces?

If that still doesn't help, please make it listen on TCP as well (in addition to UDP).

 

all interfaces?

Falko,
The tinydns-conf program does not allow for setting TinyDNS to run on more than one interface. I have mail and other services running on these interfaces.

Likewise TINYDNS is not intended to run on TCP. AXFRDNS is the sister package that is part of DJBDNS intended to run on TCP.

The working server reports similar information via netstat...surely this is not causing the lack of response by the server???

Are there any djbdns errors in your logs?

 

No errors...but I think I figured it out...did complete reinstall...For whatever reason, I think dig was broken and tinydns just needed a local query with dnsq to get the ball rolling....now dig works as well.
