Hi Mr. Arif

The link you provided is very reach on different service configuration 
on a Linux Box. But the way you asked to help has not enough 
information to help you.

To give you a complete solution for your DNS problem, anyone might 
need to see the configuration files of your Linux box listed bellow:

/etc/named.conf
/etc/sysconfig/ named
All file under /var/named
/etc/sysconfig/ iptables

Finally the output of following 2 command on your Linux Box:

netstat -na
service named reload; tail -200 /var/log/messages

You also need to provide the distribution of Linux you are using, like 
'Redhat', 'Redhat Enterprise', 'CentOS', 'Fedora', 'Openlinux' etc etc 
with the version number.

For a quick solution, you can try checking your DNS server with 
firewall off. To shutdown your default firewall issue the command 
bellow:

service iptables stop

Then check your configured DNS server. All of above method I mention 
above is for redhat/RHEL/ CentOS/Fedora distribution of Linux.

Hope you problem will solved, if not you can reply this email with the 
details information I asked above.

Thank you for using Linux

Happy Linuxing

I have 3 different PC with Fedora 9, CentOS 5.2 and RHEL AS 4.7.
Recently I gain success at RHEL 4.7 with DNS, Web, virtual web and sendmail but can't pop3 or IMAP4 access. I also tried to learn and start another server on the RHEL server.

I also tried to Fedora 9 and CentOS 5.2 but can. I find that named.conf and forwared and reverse zone files are not on the location like RHEL 4.7.

Can you tell me something about it.

Thanks and Regards.
