Here's the config for a bind that will respond to DNS requests from other m=
achine.
options {
directory "/etc/namedb";
};
zone "." {
type hint;
file "named.root";
};
zone "0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA" {
type master;
file "localhost.rev";
};
If you have an upstream DNS server you can tell BIND about it by putting
the following inside the options section ->
forwarders {
1.2.3.4;
};
Hope that helps.
