in that case, just list all of the zones in /etc/named.conf. for
example, named.conf might contain the following:
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa.zone";
};
zone "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa.zone";
};
zone "localhost" {
type master;
file "localhost.zone";
};
zone "compuport.com.ph" {
type master;
file "compuport.com.ph.zone";
};
/etc/named.custom might look like this:
zone "." {
type hint;
file "named.ca";
};
options {
directory "/var/named/";
forwarders {
202.57.96.4;
203.172.11.25;
};
};
the zone files, as i mentioned earlier, are in /var/named, as you can
see in the options section above.
> can u explain further about forwarders
forwarders simply forward DNS requests which aren't in your DNS server's
cache to another DNS server(typically your ISP's DNS server) before it
tries to query the root DNS servers. there are a bunch of other options
in the BIND manual. there's even a simple load balancing configuration.
hope this helps. =)
