Dear Group, In the process of configuring bind, I created a new configuration file under /etc/named.conf options { directory "/var/named"; version "Nope."; }; zone "internal.micro.com" in { type master; file "internal.micro.com"; }; This is the definition I am using for the forward zone under /var/named/internal.micro.com $TTL 24h; @ IN SOA plato.internal.micro.com lgrullon.internal.micro.com( 2011011401 ; Serial 108000 ; Refresh 3600 ; Retry 604800 ; Expire 86400 ; Minimum ) internal.micro.com. IN NS plato.internal.micro.com. internal.micro.com. IN A 192.168.1.10 plato.internal.micro.com. IN A 192.168.1.10 internal.micro.com. IN MX 100 plato.internal.micro.com I am getting the following error under /var/log/messages and named would not start after service named start. What am I missing?
