After that, you can fire tcpdump: tcpdump -vvv -n udp and port 53 and host 218.248.240.178 And you'll get a lot of information, too. > Ofcourse I checked that my local bind is working fine, since it can > resolve almost all other domains Yes, but it may do bad things (such as sending requests from port 53) that are accepted *almost* everywhere but not at bsnl.in. Also, it can do correct things (such as using extensions like EDNS0) that are accepted *almost* everywhere but not at bsnl.in (bad example since 218.248.240.178 seems happy with EDNS0). > So where is the DNS request getting blocked.
