Hi all,

Mark, are you running chrooted BIND?  If so, the file locations are
somewhat different, but the general paradigm is the same.

NON-Chrooted:
db.* files are in /var/named
named.conf is in /etc
zone.* files are in /etc/bind

Chrooted:
db.* files are in /var/named/chroot/var/named/ (if slaves, they're in
/var/named/chroot/var/named/slaves/)
named.conf is in /var/named/chroot/etc/
zone.* files are in /var/named/chroot/etc/bind

I recently (with *lots* of pointers from this list) got my secondary NS
up running a chrooted BIND (on CentOS 5).  One of the issues I had was
the path set for the slave zone files.

In my secondary, I had the full path including the leading
/var/named/chroot/.  That was a big error.  The chrooted location is, it
seems, understood so my path/to_zone_files/ was wrong in my secondary's
named.conf file.

Made a *big* difference for me, clearly.

I do hope this helps.
