  • Hi welcome to slashdot. Add Linux version/software versions to this post and any future posts please. It seems BIND was unable to connect to that IP. Could be a transient error. Is it your BIND configured for IPv6 only or is the IPv4 interface down? Have you allowed besides UDP/53, TCP/53, if using firewall rules? Test 198.41.0.4 with a dig/nslookup from the BIND machine

I would bet on a transient error, however if the command tools work, and you have this error something is amiss. Maybe a BIND bug, maybe some firewall configuration (inspectors)



Your OS and BIND are quite old and EOL (2013 since it is the testing branch).



I would upgrade both urgently; if you have not kernels and BIND compiled by hand, they have already a couple nasty bugs that can be explored remotely.



If the issue continues to be present, then I would debug further on the problem.

  • Interesting. While we did not deleted the hints about your servers, it seemed to me I could connect to your powerdns server, but not your BIND server from the outside. A chance is also increasing the debug level of BIND, or increasing monitoring in some other way. Do you have firewalls in the way to outside, PIXes or ASAs? Why not Debian 8? I am running it here.

  • Yes, I have two DNS servers, one BIND ant second PowerDNS. ip route get shows that to that IP address I go over public IP address, so no firewall is in the way

    – gedO
    Jun 20 '16 at 12:47











  • Having a route of public IP addresses is no guarantee there are no firewalls, however I do trust you know better about your setup. I am a little busy right now, will came back later with ideas for debugging.
