So this is an OS X Server issue I'm sure...but let me see if I can get some experienced help on this. I'm using Bind9.4 from Macports. When the server was home as I was setting it up, BIND9 was the first thing I setup. It was working perfectly throughout the time I used it. I know because, well, it just worked :) Then I moved the server to its proper location and gave it a public IP. I ran the changeip script that OS X server requires (stupid thing that is). Now BIND9 runs, but does not work. I cannot get it to respond to anything. Here is the only thing I see in the logs: Apr 8 19:25:29 localhost named[82]: starting BIND 9.4.0 Apr 8 19:25:29 localhost named[82]: command channel listening on 127.0.0.1#953 Apr 8 19:25:30 localhost named[82]: running but doing an NSLookup to the server simply does not work. wisops@[/opt/local/apache2/conf/vhosts]: nslookup
