The purpose of caching-nameserver is to setup a "caching-only-DNS" box ... the only way to setup a "caching-only-DNS" box is to remove the current named.conf file and replace it with a new one that defines it as a "caching-only-DNS" box :) The lesson learned is ... once you setup your box as a DNS zone control box, backup the named.conf file and remove the package caching-nameserver ... OR ... don't install it in the first place. My guide has been updated to remove the caching-nameserver package after finishing zone setup :). -- Johnny Hughes <http://www.HughesJR.com/>
