hmm...
you can grab a sample set of bind 8 config files at:
http://nwonknu.org/bind-config.tgz
you can start the daemon with:
/usr/sbin/named
and make it re-read configuration with:
kill -HUP `pidof named`
and make it stop with:
kill -TERM `pidof named`
basically all you need to fill in on the config files,
is is named.conf, look for the part w/forwarders and fill
yours in.
If you want to serve a domain, make an entry in named.conf
that looks like this:
zone "my.domain.name"{
type master;
notify no;
file "/etc/bind/my.domain.name.db";
};
and then a file /etc/bind/my.domain.name.db
;zone file for my.domain.name
@ IN SOA thismachine.my.domain.name me.my.email.address (
199910042 ; seria for email address, if you
8H ;refresh are [EMAIL PROTECTED], put
2H ;retr foo.bar.com
1W ;expire
1D ) ;minimum
NS thismachine.my.domain.name. ;notice . at end
MX 10 wheremailgoes.my.domain.name ;primary mail
;
thismachine A 192.168.1.23
thatmachine A 10.12.17.243
wheremailgoes A 12.42.5.12
so every domain needs a NS record(nameserver) and MX record(mail)
and then you can make class A records that map machine names
to IP addresses.
hope this helps,
greg
