Maradns almost working, but can't get it to dig

Question

I have setup the vanilla maradns service and almost got it working but i am missing one thing i think, plz take a look.

/var/log/messages:

   Sep  2 06:32:13 localhost /usr/local/sbin/maradns: Filename: db.example.net
   Sep  2 06:32:13 localhost /usr/local/sbin/maradns: MaraDNS proudly serves you 21 DNS records

$ sudo netstat -anup

$ askmara Awww.example.com.

 Querying the server with the IP 127.0.0.1

Here is the config /etc/mararc:

ipv4_bind_addresses = "127.0.0.1" chroot_dir = "/etc/maradns" csv2 = {} csv2["example.net."] = "db.example.net"

Running centos7, Maradns: 2.0.11, dig: DiG 9.9.4-RedHat-9.9.4-29.el7_2.3 , on amazon-ec2. Also not setting up recursive server just authoritative dns server. I don't want to setup recursive, if not necessary. plz gurus, im lost...

I'm voting to close this question because the author can't be bothered to make an intelligible sentence, use proper spelling or punctuation, and also refuses to format the content in a reasonable manner, so it's not a very important question now is it? — Wesley, Sep 02 '16 at 06:58
A config file of the service itself would also be helpfull :) — inaki, Sep 02 '16 at 06:59
@wesley, you would think some constructive criticism, considering this is like my third post would be more helpful. — DamnedNForsaken, Sep 02 '16 at 07:04
@inaki i am just using the vanilla. i.e. https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/install-maradns-on-centos-7/ — DamnedNForsaken, Sep 02 '16 at 07:09
Down vote retracted for the effort to clean the post up. Very nice. — Wesley, Sep 02 '16 at 07:31

At first I incurred in the same error (REFUSED), but this configuration works for me, with maradns 2.0.09-2 on ubuntu 16.04 :

contents of file mararc:

bind_address = "127.0.0.1"
chroot_dir = "/etc/maradns"
csv2 = {}
csv2["example.net."] = "db.example.net"

contents of file db.example.net:

example.net.      +14400    soa    ns1.example.net. dns@example.net.2012010117 14400 3600 604800 14400 ~
