Do you have another > of BIND that run on FreeBSD 3.0 which uses the syntax found in > named.boot? I would suggest sticking with BIND 8. The BIND 4 tree is being deprecated. You'll find extensive instructions on the new syntax at: http://www.isc.org/bind8/ Also, BIND 8 comes with a Perl filter which should be able to convert your old named.boot to the new syntax. If you installed the source tree, it should be /usr/src/contrib/bind/bin/named/named-bootconf.pl -- V Johann Visagie | wjv@CityIP.co.za | Tel: +27 21 419-7878 | ICQ: 20645559 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
