AWS, BindDNS, and custom name servers Post on Apr 05, 2011

I just wanted to plug a little "note to self" on here, I was setting up a custom name server on a Webmin install on AWS. My EC2 instance was running fine, http requests were responding fine as long as I used the IP or a custom hosts file on my machine. The domain was hosted with Godaddy, and I had changed the nameserver entries to my custom nameserver. I also had entries in the Godaddy 'custom hosts' setup pointing my custom nameservers to my IP. BINDDNS is running, but still no cake, so what was the problem?

I needed to add an ICMP security rule for my AWS Security Group, the DNS requests to my machine weren't making it through. Add security rule, boom, site's up, everybody's happy.

AWS is kinda fun actually, once you've lost all your hair...
