Sample BIND Configuration Files

neoform · 05-06-2009, 09:44 AM

I'm trying to set up a BIND name server but am finding the lack of good example configurations is making this really hard.

Can anyone post up their name server configuration (the named.conf and their main zone file)? All the examples I've found only show very primitive examples that never include any domains other than the name server domain itself, which makes this really confusing.

Thanks.

A little old, but should be fine as examples.

And the rest of the files. Hopefully, I did not introduce any new problems when I munged the data.

Speaking of books, you might want to have a look at the 'DNS & Bind Cookbook' (pub O'Reilly), which is largely composed of sample config files for particular circumstances. (Actually, I don't know how they justify the 'DNS & Bind' part - there doesn't seem to be much non-Bind DNS stuff in there.)

Somewhat available as a google book, if you like that kind of thing, at this snappy URL http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=P...esult&resnum=8
