[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello to all. I will make this quick. I recently setup my own nameserver running bind 4.96 on a freebsd 2.2.2-r box. I am reading the o'reilly and associates book on dns and bind. All of my nameserver tests have gone flaulessly, IE, I can lookup names with nslookup both on my own network, as well as remotely. I have all my machines set to use my home made nameserver as the primary nameserver, and all nameserver routines appear to work. However, when I look in the /var/log/messages file, I am receiving syntax errors all over the place. These errors point to my db files, both db.domain and db.ip-number files. Now, qmail will not resolve remote names, but it will when I switch to my secondary nameserver, which is run by my isp. So. With all that said, I am lead to believe that there is indeed something incorrect with my syntax. I should explain that I am including my db.domain file, not to take up bandwidth and list space, but I could really use a pointer or two. I am blind, so I have all my books converted to ascii text format. It could very well be that this is a syntax error, and it is due to the way that the book is being presented to me on screen. BTW. I am using long names here, not short-cuts. The name of the file is: db.dcoisp and the domain is dcoisp.net. SHould I name the file, db.dcoisp.net? Thank you very much for any assistance.
