I have installed maradns in windows 7 machine, I have configured it, It can
able to handle internal requests, But not external ones

*My IP address: 192.168.1.196*

*marac file*

ipv4_bind_addresses = "127.0.0.1"
timestamp_type = 2
random_seed_file = "secret.txt"

csv2 = {}
csv2["myapp.com."] = "db.lan.txt"

upstream_servers = {} # Initialize dictionary variable
upstream_servers["."] = "8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4"

*db.lan.txt*

private.%       192.168.1.21 ~
blog.%          192.168.1.16 ~


I have installed deadwood also.

*Deadwood configuration: dwoodr3c.*

ipv4_bind_addresses = "127.0.0.1"

chroot_dir = "/etc/maradns"

recursive_acl = "127.0.0.1"

upstream_servers = {}

upstream_servers["."] = "8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4"

recursive_acl = "192.168.1.196/24"


For *external requests*, its giving me the below error

C:\Program Files\maradns-2-0-06-win32>askmara.exe Agoogle.com.
# Querying the server with the IP 127.0.0.1
# Remote server said: REFUSED
# NS replies:
# AR replies:

*For internal requests, Its working fine as below*

C:\Program Files\maradns-2-0-06-win32>askmara.exe Aprivate.myapp.com.
# Querying the server with the IP 127.0.0.1
# Question: Aprivate.myapp.com.private.myapp.com. +86400 a 192.168.1.21
# NS replies:
#myapp.com. +86400 ns synth-ip-7f000001.myapp.com.
# AR replies:
#synth-ip-7f000001.myapp.com. +86400 a 127.0.0.1

And when i start the server, *I am getting a prompt with a warning as well*
