This is not so hard to do. You have to create a domain in your nameserver
called "home". To do this, add this to named.conf:
zone "home"
{
type master;
file "zone/home";
};
Then create a file /etc/namedb/zone/home:
@ IN SOA server.unix.home. hostmaster.server.unix.home. (
2001010701 ; serial
8H ; refresh
2H ; retry
4W ; expire
1D ) ; minimum
;; the nameserver for the zone
NS server.unix.home.
;; this one is required
localhost A 127.0.0.1
;; insert your hosts in the "home" domain here
server.unix A 192.168.0.4
lane.windows A 192.168.0.1
joe.mac A 192.168.0.2
If you reload the nameserver with "killall -HUP named" you should see in
your logfiles that it has loaded a zone called "home". Should you ever
change the zone, be sure to raise the serial number.
You might want to check out this little HOWTO on BIND. It's clear and
simple. http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/DNS-HOWTO.html
If the example above doesn't work I apologize, it's 07:56am and I've been
up all night reading about mutexes and deadlocks :)
Good luck..
walter.
