Most distros have bind configured as cacheing only (what you probably want unless you have your own domains to manage with it) by default. So in most cases it's just a matter of installing bind and pointing resolve.conf at it. It should know already where the root servers are and "just work". You may also want to consider using anything but bind. It's overkill for what you want to do and is a little to famous for security problems (though not nearly as famous as sendmail). /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
