This problem has been bothering me for a while
Im running named on a netbsd/sparc box
My network is 192.168.5/24 behind a router forwarding dns to the server.
my domain is gophnet.org

i have gophnet.org's name servers set as
node2.ath.cx and node3.ath.cx
both are a free dns service that have A records to my ip 69.14.75.167

everything works fine on the inside of the network, the problem
is when i try doing a lookup on the internet it times out.

dig @69.14.75.167 gophnet.org ANY         from my computer works
dig @69.14.75.167 -x 69.14.75.167 ANY from my computer works
dig @69.14.75.167 gophnet.org ANY         from the internet times out
dig @69.14.75.167 -x 69.14.75.167 ANY from the internet times out

Internal nslookup
Server:  dns1.gophnet.org
Address:  192.168.5.2
Name:    gophnet.org
Addresses:  69.14.75.167, 192.168.5.3

squish dns reports
about 1/2 thorugh fails

     Referral node2.ath.cx

     Asking node2.ath.cx (69.14.75.167) for gophnet.org (type A)

     Error: node2.ath.cx (69.14.75.167): Resolve for gophnet.org. (A)
failed: query timed out



i telnet to a remote computer (192.94.73.1) and do a dig

dig @69.14.75.167 gophnet.org ANY
;; global options:  printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

but in my logs i get

Nov 22 06:04:15 client 192.94.73.1#64598: query: gophnet.org IN ANY
Nov 22 06:04:20 client 192.94.73.1#64598: query: gophnet.org IN ANY

so i know its getting through the router and to the server so i think mabey
my isp is blocking dns

any ideas?


Heres my config files

named.conf
view external {
        match-clients { any; };
        recursion no;
        zone "gophnet.org" {
                type master;
                file "external.gophnet.org.db";
        };
        zone "75.14.69.in-addr.arpa" {
                type master;
                file "75.14.69";
        };
};
view external {
        match-clients { any; };
        recursion no;
        zone "gophnet.org" {
                type master;
                file "external.gophnet.org.db";
        };
        zone "75.14.69.in-addr.arpa" {
                type master;
                file "75.14.69";
        };
};
