Hi,

You should check that:

1) MaraDNS is compiled as a recursive server (that is the default) and not
as authorative only.

2) That your IP address (61.179.151.106) is allowed to use your server for
recursive queries. Do you have 'recursive_acl' set in your mara
configuration to allow queries from this address? See
http://www.maradns.org/tutorial/man.mararc.html for information on how to
set this.

I think #2 is probably the reason why you see this log message. After
fixing your config, restart maradns and see if you get the desired result.

Kind regards,
