hi-
i've got a potato machine that i've just upgraded from slink. when i
originally configured this machine (slink) i set it up to be its own dns
server, primarily from a "what the heck" rather than any functional
standpoint. now i'm wanting to tell it to forward requests to a local proxy
server for my dial-up connection. from reading the dns how-to it seemed
that it should be a relatively simple matter of adding the forwarder address
to the named.conf file, but the first time through i got turned around and
edited the vestigial /etc/named.conf rather than the /etc/bind/named.conf
and by the time i realized what had happened i had been editing files hither
and yon, trying to figure out why i couldn't get the thing to work. once i
spotted the source of the problem i edited the right file, but now i'm
having general functional problems. at this point i'm both trying to find
the most efficient manner to get this thing cleaned up, and i'm wondering
whether what i interpret as the leftover files from the previous slink
config could be serving a functional role for some package of which i'm not
aware.
does anyone have any input to offer?
