unixspeak for "root", the root of the DNS is the ?.root-servers.net listed
in the db.cache file.

The cricket book sets the conventions for file names for BIND8, imo: The
database files look like:
db.127.0.0

Go buy the cricket book. You can find it here:
http://BIND8NT.MEIway.com
I have sample config files on the download page. They work for BIND on any OS.
zone "mydomain.com" {
>type master;
>..than what ?..
keep going ... ; NOTIFY yes; allow-transfer { ip.ad.re.ss;};
where that is the ip of the ISP's slave DNS.

it's only cosmetic because I edit my config files with Allaire homesite,
but I put a zone statement on one line. If you're editing on a 80-col
terminal, do otherwise.

whoa, go buy the cricket book. Those types of records go in the zone file
db.domain.com
>mydomain.com. IN SOA ns.mydomain.com
$TTL 86400
$ORIGIN domain.com.
@ IN SOA ns.mydomain.com ns-admin.mydomai.com ( numbers )

@ IN NS ns.mydomain.com.
@ IN NS ns.myispdomain.com.

you're not far off, but go buy the cricket book. chirp chirp
>And for later on.. i should define the ip of myispdomain.com right ?
no, your ns isn' authoritative for his domain.

visit my site, it's got plenty of info, buy the cricket book, then you'll
be a DNS guru.
check the links out on my resources page, and join the BIND users list.
Your English is fine. But your DNS isn't, yet!! vbg
