Hmpf. Nope. There's no universal ``right directory'' for this. If your machine is a primary server, you want it in /etc, since it's a configuration file. (/var is usually not included in dump cycles, but you sure _want_ the original tables to be dumped.) If your machine is a secondary server, you want it in /var. If your machine is both, and you cannot live with pulling the secondary backups into /etc, you will have to use different `directory' directives in named.boot. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
