No port 53 appears to be closed but named is running. I'm trying to find out how to open it now.

ipchains -I input 1 -s 0.0.0.0/24 53 -p tcp -j ACCEPT
ipchains -I input 1 -s 0.0.0.0/24 53 -p udp -j ACCEPT

that will open the port, but it sounds like that is not your problem. Are you behind another firewall or proxy server? Is it a single box, if so post the output of : ipchains -L.

I have resolved the port problem isp had it firewalled.

I've finally have my web and nameserver
running on rh7.1 bind 9.1

If your familiar with them I'm trying to set-up virual hosting.

What would cause a website only to by opened by ip address not by www.-- (http://www.--) or domain.com ?

zone file error?
