LinuxQuestions.org - bind, named, and DNS

Since I travel extensively, and I only visit a few sights, I've been thinking it would be a good idea to have my own local nameserver.

The few posts I've seen on this have me confused, and not able to surf...

I have chmod the rc.bind file, it does start.

But no DNS resolution. I know I have to modify resolv.conf, but what do I put in there?

Plus, after every dhcp request, it resets resolv.conf, even if I uncomment "keep resolv" in the rc.inet1.conf file.

Help?

*** EDIT ***

I have used Alien Bob's rc.bind script, now I get:

Code:

bash-3.1# /etc/rc.d/rc.bind start

Starting named:  /usr/sbin/named -u daemon

bash-3.1# /etc/rc.d/rc.bind status

named status:  /usr/sbin/rndc status

rndc: connect failed: connection refused

bash-3.1#

OK...So what's up?
