I did have LocalNAT disabled... I am not sure why. The wierd thing is that after QDNS starts the existing zones load fine but once I added additional slaves the log on NS1 was still showing queries from 192.168.0.1 (my internal gateway on NS2). I still have 9 zones which are still showing "unable to open file..." and failed to lookup SOA. Hmmm something fishy is going on here. I will contact the IPNetRouter people about this. People on the LAN here can get DNS requests to go through but the slave server still reports 192.168.0.1 to NS1. > As a test, just to make sure everything works, put a copy of DNS > Expert on the slave server machine.
