IMNSHO they really 'altered' BIND setup from 4.x. After much kicking around, I actually reinstalled Centos 5 and started anew. > I'm having trouble understanding the way bind works now and was > wondering if anyone has a bit of time to help me with it. Do you understand BIND 9.x? Do you want to implement DNS 'views'? Do you need dDNS? > I am starting from scratch and I only have my primary domain and one > additional domain I host. Are you handling your reverse lookup (arpa.in)? Quick recommendation: INSTALL EVERYTHING for BIND. This includes for a caching server and system-config-bind. Then install Webmin (www.webmin.com) and use Webmin to set yourself up.
