I'm trying to understand the nature of the apparent firewall block at our institution... I have a name server set up within the firewall. A named-xfer query from outside the firewire to my name server FAILS (just hangs). BUT single nslookup's from outside to my name server work fine. Also named-xfer's from within the firewire work fine also.
How is that? I thought all such name/domain queries work off of port 53... so why does named-xfer fail but nslookup succeed?
The practical effect is that my name server seems to work fine as a name server EXCEPT it is not able to feed a secondary name server outside with its required info.
thx
