I found it. It is port 53. Now I have a new problem. I tried to list my DNS server (that I've been working on this week) as an optional third DNS server for my domain at my registrar's website. I have a record for ns.espersunited.com in my DNS setup on my server box. The problem is that nobody knows who ns.espersunited.com is because my current DNS hosting service (Yahoo SmallBusiness) doesn't allow entry of NS records in their customer DNS settings and my registrar (1accredited.com) won't accept an IP address as a nameserver. I might try listing bullet.espersunited.com as a nameserver (ns.espersunited.com has a CNAME record pointing to bullet.espersunited.com), but I'm not sure it will work. Any suggestions of how to get my DNS server noticed? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
