Dig returns "status: REFUSED" for external queries?
- by Mikey
I can't seem to work out why my DNS isn't working properly, if I run dig from the nameserver it functions correctly:
# dig ungl.org
; <<>> DiG 9.5.1-P2.1 <<>> ungl.org
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 24585
;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 1

but when I run it from another server in the same datacenter I receive:
# dig @87.98.167.208 ungl.org
; <<>> DiG 9.5.1-P2.1 <<>> @87.98.167.208 ungl.org

my zone file for this domain is
$ttl 38400
ungl.org. IN SOA r29901.ovh.net. mikey.aol.com. (
201003121
10800

38400 )

ungl.org. IN A 188.165.34.72
localhost. IN A 127.0.0.1
www IN A 188.165.34.72
The server is running Ubuntu 9.10 and Bind 9, if anyone can shed some light on this for me it'd make me very happy!
thanks
