Networking Troubles

[Dave Mason]

This is a question about my own setup, but in the same flow....

bash# cat /etc/resolv.conf
search in.mason-rose.ca
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx   (the current IP address from the router, provided by DHCP)

This works passably, but is kindof slow.  And dig +trace doesn't work.
If I reverse the nameservers, dig +trace works for some sites.  If I
remove the router nameserver it doesn't work, even though I have named
running on the linux box.  I have a fairly tight firewall, is there
something I should have enabled besides 80, 22, 25 in order to have
named work properly?

Thanks  ../Dave
