Reverse lookups failing

[Davenport, Steve M]

Please disregard. This is working now. Was either an ASA firewall dns
filter which was stopped and restarted during testing or the setting of
both nameservers to run bind9.3.5-P2.

Subject: Reverse lookups failing


Hello,
 
I am having issues with reverse lookups failing and can not find the
cause. Running bind 9.3.5-P1 and 9.3.6rc1.
On an external server dig gives:
 
$ dig @harley.mc.utmck.edu -x 165.6.6.27
; <<>> DiG 9.5.0-P1 <<>> @harley.mc.utmck.edu -x 165.6.6.27
; (1 server found)
;; global options:  printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

 
Internally the same query is fine:
$ dig @harley.mc.utmck.edu -x 165.6.6.27
; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> @harley.mc.utmck.edu -x 165.6.6.27
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:

The config file has "allow query" set on the reverse zone. This was
working earlier and I'm told there have been no network changes.
 
Does this appear to be a firewall issue? Is there anything else that
might help narrow down the problem?
 
Thanks for your assistance,
Steve
