I had some problems getting Bind 9.1.1 working in Mandrake 8.0. I finally
got the config files to work but I had to make some changes and I would like
some input as to if this sounds correct:

I put named.conf from the NetReg into /etc The file looks like:

// named.conf for NetReg
// Belongs at /etc/named.conf

options {
        directory "/var/named";
        recursion no;
};

zone "." in {
        type master;
        file "db.root";
};

Notice that I have changed the directory from '/etc/' to '/var/named' and I
have removed the lind 'fetch-glue no;' A message in /var/log/messages was
reporting that this command is obsolete. Is it o.k. to remove this line?

db.root was put into /var/named and now looks like this:

; Bind 9.1.1 -- Zone file -- for NetReg
; Belongs at /var/named

$TTL 21600 ; Default TTL 6 hours

. IN SOA netreg.uconn.edu. root.netreg.uconn.edu. (
                1 10800 3600 604800 86400 )

        IN NS netreg.uconn.edu.
netreg 86400 IN A 137.99.16.10
*. 86400 IN A 137.99.16.10

Notice that I have added the line with TTL. /var/log/messages was
complaining that this variable was missing before I added it. Is this value
correct? What does it mean?

It looks like everything is working correctly so far. If I ping foo I get
the name resolved to 137.99.16.10.

Thanks in advance,

- Mike
