allow-query { any; } question....

[Chris Collins]

Hello

I am having some troubles getting the allow-query { any; }; to work
for "mydomain.ca"
The message I get back is query refused and in the syslog of the
server running named I get.

Mar 12 21:48:07 wolfgang named[80444]: denied query from
[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx].62799 for "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa" PTR/IN


I can get the to query work if I remove the  allow-query { 127.0.0.1;
}; from the options sections. I have searched the mail archives and I
am under the impression if I add allow-query { any; }; to the zone
definition it will work. Is this correct to assume?

Below is a complete copy of my named.conf config with only the domain
name changed.

Can anybody offer any suggestions? 


I am running ver 8.3.7-REL on FreeBSD 4.10
