I've got a very curious pb, I'm using bind 9.3.1.
My DNS server can't contact root server or my ISP DNS servers (if I put them
in forward). It can't locate DNS Server for any zone, this is the tcpdump
trace :

Internet connectivity is ok. No firewall pb...
My LAN is connect to other LAN with VPN. I can resole host for local zone,
and for zone on my VPN (the other DNS are on remote site).

Another thing very strange, if I put in forward options, a DNS present on a
remote site link with a remote site, resolution is OK.
Help me !
Thank you

It looks like you're using the 'query-source' option to force source port
53 on the recursive queries. Are you sure your firewall is allowing
inbound packets to port 53, so that the replies can get through?

I'm having trouble parsing this sentence. Does "remote site link with a
remote site" mean you have a private connection (or a VPN) to this site,
rather than going through the Internet? If so, this supports the theory
that the problem is with your Internet firewall.
