DNS issues with F15

I'm breaking down and asking for guidance.
I have ISPC3 running just fine on Lenny and F13. I'm doing a Perfect Howto setup on F15 now and can't get any domain to work. Even if I ssh into the server and ping a domain, I get ping: unknown host www.kbcontract.com after about 10 sec. So strange. I like to think I know how to setup ISPC3 without problems but I'm lost now.

I can reinstall from scratch, but I'd rather try to figure this out.

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

bind/named is running.
domains and dns are setup.
selinux and firewall disabled
I can ping the server name remotely no problem.
I can't ping any domain I setup remotely nor on the server itself.

 

Can you post your named.conf?

 

named.conf:

Code:

//
// named.conf
//
// Provided by Red Hat bind package to configure the ISC BIND named(8) DNS
// server as a caching only nameserver (as a localhost DNS resolver only).
//
// See /usr/share/doc/bind*/sample/ for example named configuration files.
//

options {
        listen-on port 53 { 127.0.0.1; };
        listen-on-v6 port 53 { ::1; };
        directory       "/var/named";
        dump-file       "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
        statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
        memstatistics-file "/var/named/data/named_mem_stats.txt";
        allow-query     { localhost; };
        recursion yes;

        dnssec-enable yes;
        dnssec-validation yes;
        dnssec-lookaside auto;

        /* Path to ISC DLV key */
        bindkeys-file "/etc/named.iscdlv.key";

        managed-keys-directory "/var/named/dynamic";
};

logging {
        channel default_debug {
                file "data/named.run";
                severity dynamic;
        };
};

zone "." IN {
        type hint;
        file "named.ca";
};


include "/etc/named.rfc1912.zones";
include "/etc/named.root.key";

include "/etc/named.conf.local";

 

SOLVED:

I decided to look back at my F13 box to see if I make any bind changes...I did the following and applied to F15...works like a charm now

/etc/named.conf

Code:

//      listen-on port 53 { 127.0.0.1; };
listen-on { any; };

Code:

//      allow-query     { localhost; };
allow-query { any; };

I don't really understand WHY...but it worked.

Hope this helps others.

 

Thanks Turbanator
This is exactly what I needed to fix my DNS issues...
