Hi Laura,
I took a look at the code and it is a writev() or a write() they do on
tcp writes. Then I checked the manpage for send because write() on a TCP socket
is the same as send() afaik. The manpage says this about your error:
[EACCES] The connection was blocked by pf(4), or SO_BROADCAST
is not set on the socket and a broadcast address was
given as the destination.
TCP doesn't do any broadcasting so it was blocked by p(4).
So that's weird becuase the 3-way handshake must have completed for nsd to
reply a query. Meaning there was SYN's and ACK's being exchanged but perhaps
a PUSH+ACK may not succeed through the pf rules?
Don't post your firewall rules to the list, but study them :-) and correct
them.
Best Regards,
-peter
