Hi!

I'm having problems setting up named.

What I want to do is to set named up so that the domains *.ariel.com are 
translated to the IP address 127.0.0.* (locally on my computer)
For example:

a      IN       A    127.0.0.1
b      IN       A    127.0.0.2
c      IN       A    127.0.0.3

and so on... (a.ariel.com should be translated to 127.0.0.1, b.ariel.com to 
127.0.0.2, and so on)

I configured named to do the reverse translation (to get the domain name, 
by means of the IP number), and it works Ok, but I couldn't use it for 
doing the "forward" translations.

I updated the named.boot file and the named.conf and pointed the ones I put 
in /var/named in these files.

I've read "TCP/IP Illustrated" (Stevens) chapter about the DNS, and have 
read some FAQs and HOWTOs, but I couldn't make it work.

If anyone could give me any help, it'd be much appreciated.
[If you have any config files for doing what I'm trying to do, I'd be glad 
to receive them in  at fgont@softhome.net , so that I could have a look at 
them]

Thank you very much in advance,
