It's fair to say I'm a long-time user of bind, but equally fair to add "...not fully comprehending...". 8-) A few comments in named.conf as to directory and file purpose would have helped quite a bit. When I saw the error referring to "...dumping..." I thought it was a reference to dump-file "/var/dump/named_dump.db"; and when that didn't help got stuck. It remains unclear what dump-file is for, though I'm sure it's somewhere in the docs. Maybe cores? Is it still true that unbound is caching-only? A DNS that's part of FreeBSD base would be much better for me. Thanks for everyone's help! bob prohaska Named.conf has so many comments it's somewhat hard to read, but in some cases more might still be better. > But then again I haven't used bind for a long time so cannot say much. > > Kind regards, > Moin
