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

> server webis.net

Default server: webis.net

Address: 66.118.228.13#53

> ironcoffee.com

;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

> > webis.net

So - any ideas?
