Does this nameserver have direct access to the Internet root nameservers? If not, does it have forwarding enabled?
If the answer to both of those is "no", then a timeout is the expected behavior; that's what you get when you try to query nameservers that you can't reach. - Kevin From: bind-users-boun...@lists.isc.org [mailto:bind-users-boun...@lists.isc.org] On Behalf Of Harshith Mulky Sent: Wednesday, July 08, 2015 6:17 AM To: bind-users@lists.isc.org Subject: Receiving Timeout from DNS Server for a zone file Not present in named.conf Hello, I have a query here, I have named.conf configured But I do not have zone file configured for a domain name as "e164.ld" I am sending out a query as dig @<DNS Server IP> 8.7.9.8.6.0.3.6.6.9.1.e164.ld.
