I want to share my DNS experience.
htt-consult.com
labs.htt-consult.com
and a couple test sub zones, are being served from this box.
I installed EVERYTHING that bespoke of BIND, well almost everything. I
wanted to make sure I had any file I might need.
[log]#grep bind rpmpkgs
bind-9.3.3-9.0.1.el5.i386.rpm
bind-chroot-9.3.3-9.0.1.el5.i386.rpm
bind-libs-9.3.3-9.0.1.el5.i386.rpm
bind-utils-9.3.3-9.0.1.el5.i386.rpm
system-config-bind-4.0.3-2.el5.centos.noarch.rpm
{log]# grep bind yum.log

Then I went to work in the following directories:
/var/named/chroot/ etc and var/named
I have determined that you can forget about any named.whatever file in
/etc/ as the chroot is really what is run.
Here is my /var/named/chroot/etc (I have 2 views, external and internal):
named.rfc1912.zones (to find this and others, remember updatedb and
locate are your friends)
named.acl
named.external
named.root <- wget ftp://ftp.rs.internic.net/domain/named.root
named.root.hints
named.caching-nameserver.conf <- not used, but what the heck...
named.internal
named.conf
rndc.key
Here is some of my /var/named/chroot/var/named files:
named.broadcast
named.ip6.local
named.local
named.zero
localdomain.zone
localhost.zone
Plus all of my specific zone and reverse files, both internal and
external views.
Once I got this all built, I have had no trouble maintaning this with
webmin.
I think this covers everything.
Happy BINDings!
