list-member needs help: re my new 2009 Dell.

2009-12-03 Thread Gary Kline

People,

Before I wear out my shoulder and write 37 pages of woe, I
thought I'd first get some idea of who knows what on this
list.  My net-wizard friend who lives around the Dallas-Ft Worth
environs has indeed suddenly vanished.  I am pretty close to
moving/migrating from the antique 1998 HP beast to a newer
Dell.  I have all the dovecot configs, the apache22 files, and
the bind9/named stuff in ``ethic''.  ethic is the server-to-be.

I did the original dNS stuff myself in early 2001, I read the 
book, got the T-shirt (DNS  BIND).  So not that blown away by
that.  Mail is a black hole; web stuff is only slightly less
so.

Anyway: how much can/will anybody be able to help me?  Ideas?

gary

I cannot be sure just yet; that's the main thing.  I'm afraid
that if I power down my server and reboot the new one that it
won't work.  Then I could be disconnected from the
real-world (koff-koff) for days or weeks.  I finished the 
namedb/master/* files late last night.  

Any DNS wizards on-list?  ---I think that's the place to
start:
show the present settings and the ones I just modified ... 
see if my mods look like they may work.

If you [[Or *Anybody*]] has any better starting place, I'm 
open to any ideas... .

PS:  I'll be up-front and add this before I send: I would
rather avoid damaging my knees by getting up/down and messing 
around on the floor!
