Query to URIBL was blocked - Using Microsoft DNS Server

  • J

    I have a MS DNS server on the LAN which forwards queries to public DNS servers which is common practice. I created the following conditional forwarder rule for URIBL. I specified the root servers, as the forwarders, based on the info at the bottom of this article.

    Conditional forwarder

    My queries are still being blocked.

    Can someone please tell where my mistake lies in the steps that I have taken and how I can resolve this issue?

    Hello Jeff,

    I haven't tried setting up the forwarding of URIBL queries using root hints, but I will look into it.

    I noticed that the screenshot shows the domain as "dnswl.org".  Did you set up a separate conditional forwarder for "uribl.com" as well?

    Regards,
    Jared

    Thanks, Jared. I checked my conditional forwarder for uribl.com and it was not correct. I forgot to add the dot at the end of each entry.

    Example: a.root-servers.net.

    It seems to be working now.
