Hi there, I'm currently running Debian Woody 3.0 r1 on my home Internet gateway box, and I've just removed DNSMasq and put BIND 9 in place instead.
This was working fine, DNS lookups are happy, the other PC's can surf the net and all that with correct name resolution and local name resolution is authoritative and doesn't cause the modem to dial to do a DNS lookup to my ISP's DNS servers. However, I installed the dhcp-dns package and made a modification that I found somewhere on the net to work with BIND 9. The fix was replacing a variable in the script for BIND 8 with rndc reload or something to that effect. Now, after doing this, it dials of its own accord with no other PC's turned on whatsoever, and a tcpdump shows the address 10.64.64.64 (ppp0 interface IP address before being assigned one by my ISP) performing a DNS lookup to the ISP's DNS servers. Any ideas why this may be? I'm probably doing something stupid, but I'm not sure what's going on and hopefully someone out there has experienced this previously. Oh, and I have pppd active filters in place to restrict what causes it to dial and the only things that will are ports 25, 53, 80, 110, and 8080. And, if I remove port 53 from the active filters, then it never dials because the client PC's have to perform DNS lookups before they send any other traffic such as http or pop3 requests etc...
