I have gone through ORA book "DNS and BIND" over and over and over but I still cannot set it up correctly to be authoritative for my own little net. My 3.3 system is the server that connects by modem to my ISP with a dynamic IP and uses PPP to interface to it. My routing works, since all of my systems can ftp, browse, etc. the internet. I can ping any system on my net or those outside of my net but I suspect this is because of the hosts files. I had DNS working on my 2.2 system, but somehow it just has not worked since I installed 3.3. Can anyone help? Here are my resolv.conf, localhost.rev, named.conf files. I have removed much of the comments that were originally in the named.conf file -----resolv.conf nameserver mercury.planets.net domain planets.net -----localhost.rev ; ; Origin added to names not ending ; in a dot: xyz.net planets.net.
