I'm running bind on a CentOS 6.7 VPS, but I can't manage to make it respond to requests. I'm not sure, but I'm kinda suspecting some conflicts between m and loopback interfaces. Here is my ifconfig:

Here is my /etc/named.conf
(I highly doubt the issue comes from incuded conf files:
options {
directory "/var/named";
dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
memstatistics-file "/var/named/data/named_mem_stats.txt";
forwarders {
# these are the DNS servers from the VPS provider (look in /etc/resolv.conf if yours are different)
MY.PROV.DNS.IP;
8.8.8.8;
8.8.4.4;
};
auth-nxdomain no; # conform to RFC1035
listen-on { any; };
listen-on-v6 { any; };
allow-query { any; };
allow-recursion { any; };
allow-transfer { MY.PROV.DNS.IP;};
recursion yes;
dnssec-enable no;
dnssec-validation no;
/* Path to ISC DLV key */
bindkeys-file "/etc/named.iscdlv.key";
managed-keys-directory "/var/named/dynamic";
};
#include "/etc/named.rfc1912.zones";
include "/etc/named.root.key";
include "/etc/named.zones.override.fr";
logging {
channel default_log {
file "data/named.run" versions 5 size 30m;
severity debug;
print-time yes;
print-severity yes;
print-category yes;
};
category default { default_log; };
category queries { default_log; };
};
I checked the conf with named-checkconf -z
, it looks good. Here is a netstat:
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 25 54195107 13451/named
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:953 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 25 54195112 13451/named
tcp 0 0 ::1:53 :::* LISTEN 25 54195109 13451/named

Now here are my tests results:
nslookup google.com 127.0.0.1
;; connection timed out; trying next origin
nslookup google.com MY.EXT.ERN.IP
;; connection timed out; trying next origin
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
