Hi, the server is setup to forward first (default behaviour).
DNS works normally, and I can find the server via nslookup etc. DNS appears
to be setup correctly.
>From what I can see, there seems to be a timeout period between the MS
Outlook Express trying to connect to the mail server. The client does
eventually connect, but only after about 1 to 2 minutes.
Here is the named.conf file.
---------------------------------------------
options {
directory "/var/named";
query-source address * port 53;
forwarders{
196.4.160.2;
196.4.160.8;
216.0.48.50;
};
};
zone "." {
type hint;
file "named.cache";
};
zone "pharma.co.za" {
type master;
file "pharma.co.za";
};
zone "weleda.co.za" {
type master;
file "weleda.co.za";
};
zone "0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA" {
type master;
file "named.local";
};
zone "196.33.3.in-addr.arpa" {
notify no;
type master;
file "196.33.3.";
};
------------------------------------------
