----
+I've written a [script|WLUG:/archive/validate_zones] to check for obvious mistakes in zone files (forgotten a "." or forgotten to update the serial).

+
+In named.conf in Debian woody there is this comment:
+
+options {
+ directory "/var/cache/bind";
+
+ // If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
+ // to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source
+ // directive below. Previous versions of BIND always asked
+ // questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 and later use an unprivileged
+ // port by default.
+
+ //query-source address * port 53;
+...
+}
+
+I found that when using the standard ipmasq scripts ( in /usr/share/doc/ipmasq/examples/stronger ) to create a firewall then, despite what the comment says that uncommenting that line caused dns lookups to stop working, ie the firewall blocked them from going out.
