Slave DNS Manager: Connection refused

LMAR6

New Pleskian
Hi!

I just installed the Slave DNS Manager to use a vServer as a slave NS. But the status in the extensions settings is red and commented with the following error:

Error Code 1: rndc: connect failed: 88.***.***.****#953: connection refused

Named.conf.local and named.conf.options are correct corresponding to the output in the extension settings.

Port 953 is also opened:

iptables -L
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:953
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:953

Maybe the NAT is the problem? The puplic IP from the vServer is 88.***.***.*** and is replaced by NAT to 172.***.***.**** . So within the vServer I have tu use 172.***.****.***.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
 
You can check, at least, connection from Plesk server to your Slave DNS server with something like:

# telnet 88.***.***.*** 953

Make sure that it works.
