Here's the espersonline.zone file:
[root@bullet named]# cat espersonline.com.zone
$TTL 86400
ns1.espersonline.com. IN SOA localhost root (
29 ; serial
28800 ; refresh
14400 ; retry
3600000 ; expire
86400 ; ttl
)
bullet IN NS bullet
bullet IN A 192.168.1.2
bullet.ns1.espersonline.com. IN CNAME bullet
I looked in /etc/named.conf, but there was no mention of
espersonline.zone anywhere. Do I need to add it manually? Also the
location of the espersonline.zone file was a little weird. It was in
/var/named/chroot/var/named. Is this normal?
