i have a secondary dns server
 

i just catted var/log/messages

and this is all i got

Nov 10 14:00:04 bubba named[14948]: lame server on '146.153.107.65.in-addr.arpa' (in '153.107.65.in-addr.arpa'?): 207.155.184.72#53

I have just about 101 MB of that

What is wrong with my named.conf? I can't find anything wrong

Most common reason for Lame Server delegation - having an NS record for a sub-domain and ALSO having records for that sub-domain in the same place.

You may have to post your 153.107.65.in-addr.arpa domain file as well as the named.conf file (maybe from both the backup and primary controllers)

what ports do you need open for named to work?
i am only letting through udp and tcp 53
