I just set up a secondary BIND 8.1.2 server (on a FreeBSD machine) at =
the company I work for that's a slave to a primary BIND 4.9.5 running on =
Windows NT 4.0.

It took all of five minutes to set up and get working, all without a =
hitch. I used the PROTO.localhost.rev shell script to create the =
localhost.rev file. After adding the zones for which it would slave, I =
started the thing, and it simply worked.

My named.conf file is basically the stock one that comes with FreeBSD, =
with my zones added in.

You gotta make sure you either don't have a /etc/resolv.conf file, or =
that /etc/resolv.conf looks kinda like this:

domain        <INSERT DOMAIN NAME HERE>
nameserver    0.0.0.0
nameserver    <INSERT OTHER KNOWN SERVERS YOU ARE
nameserver    AUTHORIZED TO USE>

The /etc/resolv.conf isn't necessary on your FreeBSD machine running the =
BIND server, as it will talk to named directly, but if you have one and =
the first nameserver is 0.0.0.0, you'll basically have the same result.

Can you expand on what you mean by 'doesn't work at all'? Does the =
command 'tail /var/log/messages' show any messages about named running =
starting up correctly (or not)? Can you use nslookup on your server?

Let me know,

-Martin

  Ok I have set up DNS on a redhat box before and I thought this would =
be straight forward I have added the configurations in my named.conf =
file to goto my zone but nothing happens. I can't get it to work at all=20


  named.conf

  options {
          directory "/etc/namedb";
          pid-file "/var/run/named.pid";
          };

  zone "." {
          type hint;
          file "/etc/namedb/db.cache";
          };

  zone "0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA" {
          type master;
          file "/etc/namedb/0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA.hosts";
          };
                =20


  I want to get the caching name server setup first to avoid any simple =
errors but this will not even work.
  the db.cache is the same as everyone else has and the =
0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA.hosts

  @               IN      SOA     ns.linux.bogus. =
