Tiny DNS servers not responding?

[element1]

I have set up tinydns but when I query the nameservers I get a time-out & no response error, but when I look in the logs it seems tinydns is running and accepting queries without trouble. I have the firewall ports open. Anyone familiar with setting this up here at unixshell that might know why this is? I have 2 instances set up- one on each of my public IP's. :confused:

tinydns is not a resolving DNS server... that is what the dnscache part of djbdns is for. Unless you are referring to the domains you setup in tinydns?

I have dnscache set up as a local caching server and I can resolve other domains, just not my own domains that tinydns holds the info for. When I query my own domains it says connection timeout, the nameservers did not respond.

I don't need reverse dns set up for my IP's for this do I?

I am using the tutorial at djbdnsrocks.org. It worked perfectly on another suse box, and everything seems to check out on this one, but no dice. Any idea what the permissions for the tinydns folders should be, right now they are owned by root. Are they supposed to be owned by tinydns?

Oh well, I've been googling this all day and can't seem to find a difinitive answer. I went ahead and set up an account at everydns.net. If anyone has set up a singleserver djbdns setup like the one over at djbdnsrocks.org on a suse box here and was successful I would love if you would share. I'm kinda tired of dealing with it at this point, but I plan on getting another unixshell account purely for tinkering so I will try again and report back if I have success. I'm guessing its something simple I'm overlooking :rolleyes: .

P.S. If anyone is looking at afree dns service everydns.net is pretty sweet. Set up my account and changed my nameservers at my registrar and it is resolving to my server in less than 5 minutes, no joke! :eek:
