Hi, This may start a debate but it is my understanding that RH recommends to not use chroot jails with bind as selinux is more secure. For some additional information see the following extract from the BIND 9 FAQ: https://scs.senecac.on.ca/~raymond.chan/nad810/0701/SELinux-DNS.html Right now I can't locate this on the new ISC website though. There is also an selinux section in the named(8) manual page, for example: http://linux.die.net/man/8/named which states pretty much the same. If you wish to stay with chroot then the key is probably to install the bind-chroot package and ensure that the ROOTDIR variable is set correctly in: /etc/sysconfig/named For what its worth I'm running a number of master/slave DNS servers under selinux no problems. Any updates on the master propagates happily to the slaves. Mind you these are low traffic DNS servers that sit behind a firewall.
