I posted my example named.conf/zone files expecting you to make the necessary changes where needed. I just threw these examples together using templates I use to create zones. According to your previous post, your zone file is... mystyka.com.zone and should exist in directory /var/named.

Trust me, you don't want everyone that loads the RH bind rpm on their system to have the same DNSSEC key as yours. Create a new one.

ARGH! LOL When you use the bind-config tool, are you adding the Address (A) records for all hosts (including your name servers), MailExchanger (MX) and your Name Server (NS) records to your mystyka zone? Also, don't get confused by the examples I posted. I probably should not have posted them. I use a line syntax from the bind book, not the syntax from the bind-config tool. Although the bind-config tool should be creating a similar syntax. Again, I do not use the bind-config tool. I manually create my named.conf and zone files. > > Thanks to all who are sticking with me so far to help me get this > figured out!
