[nflug] fedora 4 DNS

[David J. Andruczyk]

Your dig command won't work because your machine isn't authoritve for
that domain, and that domain probably isn't registered with a registrar
and listed with a pair of authoritive dns sservers.  You need to use a
directe focused query like dig @dns_server_ip some_host_name.

i.e. if your dns server is 192.168.2.50, you'd run "dig at 192.168.2.50
joe16blow.com"

Also if you add zones, make sure the permissions of the zone file are
set correctly.  Typically 644, named:named i.e.

-rw-r--r--  1 named named 565 Oct 10  2004 192.168.0

the zone files are usually kept in /var/named or /var/bind or a subdir
under one of those two.  distros tend to stick that stuff in slightly
different places..

also check /var/log/messages after starting named as it WILL complain
if there's anything wrong with the zone files or master config file(s)
