IN { type hint; file "named.ca"; }; zone "localdomain" IN { type master; file "localdomain.zone"; allow-update { none; }; }; zone "localhost" IN { type master; file "localhost.zone"; allow-update { none; }; }; zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "named.local"; allow-update { none; }; }; zone "0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.arpa" IN { type master; file "named.ip6.local"; allow-update { none; }; }; zone "255.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "named.broadcast"; allow-update { none; }; }; zone "0.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "named.zero"; allow-update { none; }; }; zone "sunupdelhi.net" IN { type slave; masters { 192.168.1.100; }; file "slaves/sunupdelhi.net"; }; zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" IN { type slave; masters { 192.168.1.100; }; file "slaves/192.168.1.zone"; }; include "/etc/rndc.key"; The Bind is chrooted on FC3.So the data(192.168.1.zone ) file should be under chroot directory in /var/named. On Windows 2003 you have to set the zone transfers to the Bind Dns otherwise you won't be able to receive the updates.I am running the Primary DNS with secure option. Regards Ankush Grover
