Hi,

Larry,

Sorry, I failed to mention that under each zone record, we allow query which
I thought should still allow the 'mailman to get past our fense'. ;-)

/etc/named.conf has the following:

options {
        directory "/etc/named";
        allow-recursion { xxx.xxx.xxx.xx/27; localhost; };
        allow-query { xxx.xxx.xxx.xx/27; localhost; };
        version "WPPi Name Server - NA";
        allow-transfer { xxx.xxx.xxx.xx; };
};
logging {
        category lame-servers { null; };
};
zone "." { type hint; file "db.cache"; };
zone "pureportraits.com" { type master; file "pri.pureportraits.com";
allow-query { any; };

  I think you've deluded yourself? :) Those queries worked because
  they were cached elsewhere, and until recently, when they have
  expired and requeried from the authoritative DNS, they are meeting
  with problems from your new configuration. In one weeks time or
  less, all your clients hosting with you will be unreachable on
  the Internet in any way. Better fix it before the retry interval
  is exceeded or you'll have some pretty irritated customers. :)

  Checking your DNS setup with a few public tools would have
  convinced you that nobody on the internet is able to get
  through to your DNS.

(frankly, it looks pretty bad to me...)
