I had recently suggested to everyone that they look at webmin
(www.webmin.com) as a tool to administer all the FreeBSD boxes that seem
to pop up once we find out how useful FreeBSD is. Well, I found an
interesting anomoly tonight with webmin and Bind 8 that Jamie solved
with no problem.
I was adding, manually, a line to the options section of
/etc/named.conf:
listen-on {10.1.1.53};
..which bind 8.1.2 (named) allows, but is not precisely accurate. The
line should read
listen-on {10.1.1.53;};
When I added this line by hand, webmin would thereafter report that no
zones had been defined. After adding the additional semi-colon ( as
Jamie suggested) webmin operated as expected.
The Bind 8.1.2 documention that I have that directly addresses adding
this option doesn't say that a semi-colon is required after *any* IP
address when using this option, but it does state it is required after
any address when using multiple listen-to addresses. webmin follows this
rule with one to many addresses in this option.
