You need to send a copy of your C:\metaip\dns\named.conf file, what version
of MetaIP you are using, is it 4.1. what NT service pack.
have you got zone query restriction set-up?
do you have an A record for the origin, if not, make a new A Record and use
the "@" to name it and then the IP for which it should resolve. This should
take care of your troubles. Also sounds like you manually edit you zone
files as oppose to using the Java GUI interface, What happens is that every
time you make a change manually, the update
and restart are overwriting the changes made. This will cause the situation
of having to manually redo the changes each time. You have provided very
little info to go by. Do some test from the server itself as oppose to
remote testing, there might also be a packet filter or firewall in the way.

Subject: Bind 8.2.2p5 on NT stops responding - HELP PLEASE!!!
I have been using Checkpoint MetaIP DNS server on two NT servers on my
Internal
DNS for sometime. About 1 month ago they both periodically (every copy of
hours
in some cases) stop responding to any queries. If I do a NSLOOKUP I get an
erro
that the the "Server x.x.x.x cannot be located". In fact the DNS server can
look up any local data at all either. In most cases I have to restart the
server as it takes upward of 4 hours before they restart again.
I am pretty sure I am not into a DOS Attack of any kind but I cannot be
sure.
Also the log files are of no help, and the CPU utilization is Nil etc.
To make sure it wasn't a Checkpoint bug I installed ICS Bind for NT 8.2.2p5
on
one machine and ran ICS against the Checkpoint data files. Same results.
Please help....if anyone has any suggestions.
