Hi All:

I have configured BIND 9 and I am using 4 NIC cards..
For Ex::
1. 192.1680.1, 2, 3, 4
2. Now here I want use only one NIC card i.e. 192.168.0.1 as query-source, In named conf I put the following entry..

query-source address 192.168.0.1 port 53 ;
but still it is showing

Pv4 interface lo, 127.0.0.1#53
Feb 06 16:53:03.896 listening on IPv4 interface eth0, 192.168.0.1#53
Feb 06 16:53:03.896 listening on IPv4 interface eth1, 192.168.0.2#53
Feb 06 16:53:03.897 listening on IPv4 interface eth2, 192.168.0.3#53
Feb 06 16:53:03.898 listening on IPv4 interface eth5, 192.168.0.4#53

Since I have configured it for 192.168.0.1, It should only listen on 192.168.0.1... but it is not doing so..
Any solution??

Just now came to know that we can not use query-source directive to do this. We can use this if server doesent knoe the answer to a question, then it will query another nameserver using query-source directive.

I want to configure it in such a way so that all DNS queries will go to 192.168.0.1.. Now the picture is bit clear..

In options try

If the server doesn't know the answer to a question, it will query other nameservers. query-source specifies the address and port used for such queries so use listen-on to bind Linux/BSD named (bind 9) to specific IP address as shown above
