I had the external IP number listed here as well and was listening on both localhost and
public IP
so I've changed the content to be as you've indicated here listening only on
local host
?????? Why would you want to listen only on localhost? I never indicated that that
would be a
go idea. I said it was the "default".
I think you'd be best served having
listen-on port 53 { 127.0.0.1; 10.0.0.1; 108.220.213.121; };
Here I am assuming your "internal" IP address is 10.0.0.1.

I had this turned off but I might as well get it up and running now as the IP4 stuff
starting to come together
ultimately we want to have both covered
Well, you only have to be concerned with IPv6 if you've been assigned IPv6 addresses.

Maybe you're not yet up and running, but FWIW, port 53 continues to show as
closed for both TCP and UDP at 108.220.213.121.
*curious, may i ask how you reach that observation?*
*i see, ...*
*
*
*netstat -tapnl | grep named
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:53 <
http://127.0.0.1:53> 0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN 1088294/named
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:953 <
http://127.0.0.1:953> 0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN 1088294/named *
That indicates named/bind is *ONLY* listening on the loopback/localhost IP address!!
That will result in a "closed" status for the port from External systems.
I run.....
nmap -A -T4 -p53 108.220.213.121 and/or
nmap -A -T4 -sU -p53 108.220.213.121
from here....a system *external* to you.
I've bold-ed another important part of *my* configuration that *doesn't *apply to
yours, below.
Also, FWIW, I just installed bind on a F33 test VM and changed named.conf to contain
options {
listen-on port 53 { 127.0.0.1; };
listen-on-v6 port 53 { 2001:b030:112f:2::53; ::1; };
*The VM is accessible via IPv6 but not IPv4.* And then running nmap from an external
system.
