A very brief synopsis of how I've done what you're trying (run a caching name server, also as a slave server for local DNS) follows: I added two configuration files, and left the remaining ones as they were: My "/var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf" file: ---------------[begin paste]------------------ ## LAN: view lan_resolver { match-clients { localhost; }; match-destinations { localhost; }; include "/etc/lan.conf"; include "/etc/rndc.key"; }; include "/etc/named.caching-nameserver.conf"; ## end of file ---------------[end paste]------------------ You'd want to customise where my example uses "localhost" to suit the networks you're going to allow to query the server. And my "/var/named/chroot/etc/lan.conf" file: ---------------[begin paste]------------------ ## LAN: zone "lan.example.com" { type slave; file "slaves/lan.example.com.zone"; masters { 192.168.1.2; }; }; zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" { type slave; file "slaves/1.168.192.in-addr.arpa.zone"; masters { 192.168.1.2; }; }; ---------------[end paste]------------------ Then my slave zone files get created, automatically in "/var/named/chroot/var/named/slaves". And that's it... -- (This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
