Instead, look at the /etc/namedb/named.conf file. At the bottom is the set up for each zone. You need to add your zones like: zone "green-mfg.com" { type master; file "db.green-mfg.com"; }; There are samples (commented out) in the named.conf for slave DNS. Don't forget localhost.rev. In /etc/rc.conf add named_enable="YES" named_flags="-b /etc/namedb/named.conf" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe Konecny" To: Sent: Thursday, October 05, 2000 3:52 PM Subject: dns > I working on understanding how to set up dns on fbsd.
