Hi All,

I am a trying to configure DNS in FC 6 using bhrooted-bind . It is
a experimental DNS for
learning purpose. I am finding the following difficulties.

1. There is no configuration file named named.conf in /var/named/
chroot/etc/ as in case of
earlier versions of Linux. The file that is present is
named.rfc1912.zones . I have edited
the file as follows for the domain example.com . The contents is
shown below.

zone "example.com" IN {
type master;
file "iqnet.in.zone";
allow-update { none; };
};

zone "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "iqnet.in.local";
allow-update { none; };
};

The zone file are as follows

A) example.com.zone

$ORIGIN example.com.
$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA iqnetns.example.com. root.example.com. (
42 ; serial (d.
adams)
3H ; refresh
15M ; retry
1W ; expiry
1D ) ; minimum

@ IN NS iqnetns.example.com.
IN A 192.168.0.254

IN AAAA ::1

iqnetns.example.com. IN A
192.168.0.254


B) example.com.local
$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA iqnetns.example.com. root.example.com. (
1997022700 ; Serial
28800 ; Refresh
14400 ; Retry
3600000 ; Expire
86400 ) ; Minimum

IN NS iqnetns.example.com.

254 IN PTR
iqnetns.example.com.

After that I edited /etc/resolv.conf and restarted the named service.
There is no error.
But when I try to resolve
iqnetns.example.com
using dig or host command , name resolution is not taking place.
Please help me in finding out the problem.

With thanks
