Patrick,
When you update your named.conf file, make sure you run a syntax check
before (re)starting named. Here's how you do it:
named-checkconf /path/to/your/named.conf && echo $?
If echo returns zero, then you're good to go. Otherwise, fix whatever
problem is displayed.
In your case, you need to remove one semi-colomn (";") to fix your
problem. Here's what your control statement should look like:
controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 port 953 allow { 127.0.0.1;10.202.77.110; }
keys { "DHCP_UPDATER"; };
};
Cheers,
David
