- OK, here are my files:
- ================== /etc/named.boot=================
- ;
- ; @(#)named.boot.slave 1.13 (Berkeley) 87/07/21
- ;
- ; boot file for secondary name server
- ; Note that there should be one primary entry for each SOA record.
- ;
- ;
- directory /usr/local/domain
- ;
- ; type domain source host/file backup file
- ;
- domain sps.mot.com
- cache . root.cache
- forwarders 192.55.22.4
- primary gpb-mac.sps.mot.com named.local
-
- secondary sps.mot.com 192.55.22.4 192.55.22.5 motnamserv.bak
- ====================================
-
- =============== /etc/named.local====================
- @ IN SOA gpb-mac.sps.mot.com. gpb@gpb-mac.sps.mot.com. (
- 2.1 3600 300 3600000 3600 )
- IN NS motsps.sps.mot.com.
- 1 IN PTR localhost.
- localhost IN A 127.0.0.1
- ===================
-
- Note that named.boot and named.local are the files you need to set up. The
- cache file is written by the named with data from the primary nameserver.
-
- Also note that while this works in my situation, I don't know enough about it
- to explain why it works.
-
- Good luck. BTW, if any guru spots my inevitable mistakes in the above files,
- please feel free to flame me as long as you tell me how to fix it.
