Thread: Bind DNS server setup - I'm about to commit suicide !!!

dear all,

after many hours of hair pulling, i've got 2 options: ask or commit suicide !!

i've installed bind9 on brand new ubuntu 10.04 server. i've read ~*50 sites explaining how set up, , should ok.
when run dig on server, works ok, indeed.

when try access outside world, dig says (replaced server ip xx.xx.xx.xx) :

; <<>> dig 9.4.3-p3 <<>> +norec @xx.xx.xx.xx google.com
; (1 server found)
;; global options: printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers reached


checked nmap -p53 xx.xx.xx.xx

starting nmap 4.90rc1 ( http://nmap.org ) @ 2011-06-28 23:49 cest
interesting ports on xxxxx.com (xx.xx.xx.xx):
port state service
53/tcp closed domain

nmap done: 1 ip address (1 host up) scanned in 0.46 seconds


why ????
on server, check netstat -plantu :
