No Response From Server

[Allie Syadiqin]

I don't think I am behind a firewall, but let me just explain it in more 
detailed way.

I am trying to set up 2 DNS server on a single machine. (I know the thing 
about redundancy and all that :) But this is only temporary until I can get 
MYNIC (the local NIC Authority) to approve the transfer of my domains as 
they require 2 DNS and I am not too knowledgeable to configure the machine 
to use external DNS or even configure external DNS service available. So, 
for the sake of solving this issue, lets assume that we stay with the 
current configuration of 2 DNS on a single machine.

Most of Bind configurations are done by the RNA (Remote Network 
Administrator) supplied by Immunix 7.0 ISP Appliance Server, which is a 
web-based Control Panel. It does not come with any User Guide and basically 
I have to do with trial-and-error to get it working this far.

So, assuming what you said about ns2 not running name service, how do I 
check and how do I enable it?
