Oscar and Dan-
I am set up as a caching DNS server.
Here is my named.boot file:
####################
directory /etc/namedb
primary 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa localhost.rev
forwarders 206.30.26.10 206.30.27.130
#####################
The 2 ips on the forwarders line are the primary and secondary DNS servers
of my ISP.
Here is my localhost.rev file:
####################
; From: @(#)localhost.rev 5.1 (Berkeley) 6/30/90
; $Id: PROTO.localhost.rev,v 1.4 1997/05/01 21:02:37 ache Exp $
;
; This file is automatically edited by the `make-localhost' script in
; the /etc/namedb directory.
;
@ IN SOA gateway.towncountry.net.
root.gateway.towncountry.net. (
19990803 ; Serial
3600 ; Refresh
900 ; Retry
3600000 ; Expire
3600 ) ; Minimum
IN NS gateway.towncountry.net.
1 IN PTR localhost.towncountry.net.
#######################
Domain Names have been changed to protect the innocent.
I set it up as detailed in "The Complete FreeBSD". Am I missing something?
