named.conf is going to be different for every installation. It's where you define the domains that bind will serve. There are lots of details that can be gotten wrong. If you get certain specific ones wrong your bind server can be victimized into participating in DNS attacks. Why do you need to run a DNS server? Is this for a local network only or do you intend to expose it to the Internet? The knowledge needed to correctly set up named.conf is kind of specialized. If we have some ISP admins on the list, maybe you'll get more specific help but your best bet for something like this is an O'Reilly book or maybe the ISC website (ISC being the folks who supply/support bind). ..mark -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
