The problem is that DNS is a fairly complex subject. You'll have to create zone files for any domains that you want to serve, regardless of what server software you wish to use. If you really want to do this, I strongly suggest getting a copy of "DNS and Bind" (O'Reilly, http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/dns4/). For what it's worth, I really doubt that djbdns will ever make any serious inroads into BIND's market share; BIND is Free Software, and djbdns is not. -- Kirk Strauser The Strauser Group - http://www.strausergroup.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
