I'm fairly new to SuSE 9.0 and am running a small network with firewall on a SuSE Prof 9.0 box, with Linux and NT2000 machines behind it.
I have implemented masquerading and the Squid proxy server with no problem.
I can get BIND9 to run happily on a SP9 box behind the firewall, but cannot get it to run ON the firewall.
I think that DNS is set up ok, as everything runs fine on the firewall when using SuSEfirewall2 test (i.e. no firewall as no packets droped).
I really need some help here!
Your config looks fine. I can only offer this experience I've had: if the firewall is started (or restarted) after the name server has started, the name server stops working and will have to be restarted (rcnamed restart). After a restart, it works fine.
