Dear All,

I am very new to Bind and FreeBSD.

I have just configured a Local DNS server using the built-in Bind 9.3.1
on a FreeBSD 5.4 machine.

My problem is that the machine can cache queries on the localhost and
loop back (127.0.0.1) interface only.

I have a public static IP on this machine too and I can't seem to query
the caching name server from my local network.

In Linux, this is no problem. I just can't seem to get Bind to work as
in my local network. It works only on the loopback interface.

I have checked my firewall but I don't it the problem is with the IPFW 
firewall.

Please shed some light on this issue.
