Hi,
Thanks for the replies. However, everything I know about DNS comes
from the HOWTO, and as I am discovering, that isnt a good source of info.
So here are a few questions :
1. Where are the cache files? What do I check them for to see if they are
valid?
2. How does the DNS server uses the nameservers of my ISP? I dont see
where such a hookup is made. If I understand correctly, the root.hints
file that I copied from the HOWTO will directly start the search from the
ROOT-SERVERS instead of the DNS servers of my ISP. (This is of course
assuming that I will at some point in time get my DNS server to work
without giving me errors).
3. As you can see from the config files I posted in another note, the
query-source option was commented out. I uncommented it and restarted the
server only to get [127.0.0.1].53 (which may be the right port, but
according to you is the wrong address. I dont understand what I am doing
wrong here.

There is no such thing as luck. 'Luck' is nothing but an absence of bad luck.
