Ummm, if your machine is disignated as the secondary name server for the domains in question, your machine will be referred to by any machine that, for whatever reason, can't reach the primary name server. A given domain has at least two name servers, normally referred to as the primary and secondary. A domain can have more than one secondary server. > 2nd question, is there a script to crate the database for named, given > an /etc/hosts file as input? No script that I know of. I do mine by hand. See my website for details. Look at the topics page, then DNS. Hope it helps.
