What query is being directed at 192.168.254.11
- From which IP address?
How does it fail, can you show output from "dig" or similar.
What do "netstat -an | grep 53" and "netstat -in" show on
server. I'm looking for the obvious typo first.

I shy away from "views", and I wouldn't use one merely to hide
the DNS version number, I'd either drop in a phone number or
other contact details using a "version" directive, or mellow out
and let everyone read it. But then I prefer to keep the IP level
restrictions in the routers and firewalls where possible.

I trust it is 9.2.1 or 9.2.2rc1.
