yes. Go to http://www.tldp.org and read the BIND howto, it'll help make it all clear. Alternatively, try out that Safari trial membership and read the O'Reilly DNS and BIND book :-) It has a lot of outdate v4 information, but it also has v8 configs which include just the sort of thing you want to do, and those will generally work with v9. As an aside, Safari is pretty dang cool. Only problem I've run into is that it doesn't have Mastering Regular Expressions, so I had to bring my paper copy to work :-( -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture...
