Here is more information. I'm testing my external BIND 9.6.1 systems with http://www.checkdns.net/powercheck.aspx. Outbound resolution is fine. Internal resolution is fine. External resolution seems to be the problem. My firewall allows port 53 UDP and TCP.
The messages I get are: Found NS record: castor.lazarusalliance.com[71. 12.99.115], was resolved to IP address by G.GTLD-SERVERS.NET<http://g.gtld-servers.net/> Found NS record: pollux.lazarusalliance.com[71.12.99.116], was resolved to IP address by G.GTLD-SERVERS.NET <http://g.gtld-servers.net/> Domain has 2 DNS server(s) CheckDNS.NET is verifying if NS are alive Error fetching SOA from castor.lazarusalliance.com [71.12.99.115], request timed out. Probably DNS server is offline. Error fetching SOA from pollux.lazarusalliance.com [71.12.99.116], request timed out. Probably DNS server is offline. 0 server(s) are alive No DNS servers alive, tests stopped What other information should I provide to be helpful in getting this solved?
