That lan.conf is something I put in there, myself. The reason being that modifying original files can cause you problems when you update bind. Your modifications may disappear. Writing them externally means that the most you have to do to get them back is insert an include line, rather than redo all the other things you did. With the current version of BIND, it looks like it doesn't come with the default named.conf file, and will start off using the other ones it comes with, if it doesn't find one. I put in a named.conf file, and make it refer to the other files (with an include). -- (This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's important to the thread.)
