if you want to use BIND, you need to take the time to read the bind documentation, we can't just recite it to you here.

if you only want to do a very simple level of DNS locally, you may prefer to look at something like dnsmasq, which is *MUCH* simpler and probably would suit you better.

You will need to map the Ip address to the canonical name of www.linuxgood.com in the zone file.

EG
In your zone file called linuxgood.com you should have an entry like :

Code:

server1      IN     A       192.168.1.1
www          IN     CNAME   server1

Here is a link to RH giving an explanation of using canonical names (CNAME ) in zone files.

It looks like you need to do a bit of reading up on how to configure DNS.

Firstly do you have the named daemon running ?

The zone file is imcomplete and you have left out quite a bit, you need to add entries for the SOA and @ as well as the IP address of the server AND the dot "." entries after EACH *.com name.

Also have you created the entry for the name server in /var/named/chroot/var/named/named.ca ? as well as the zone file and reverse look up entries to /etc/named.conf ?

You will need to get DNS running first before you do anything else.

Instead of using ping to check your entries , use dig ,
IE

Code:

dig linuxgood.com

dig -x 192.168.1.1 ( requires a reverse look up file linuxgood.rev )

This is the better way of checking if DNS is running.

You can also use nslookup as well to check the entries
IE

Code:

nslookup linuxgood.com

nslookup 192.168.1.1

Also , every time you change an entry in any of the config files , you will have to restart named

I will attach a working zone file example to give you an idea of how a zone file should look.

Code:

NOTE : The inclusion of the dots "." after each of the .com  enties !!!!!!
        DNS is very particular about the dot entries.


$TTL		86400
@			IN SOA panther.com. webmaster.panther.com. (			
			20020827; serial
			3H	; refresh
			15M	; retry
			1W	; expire
			1D )	; minimum TTL
		IN NS	emubitter.panther.
		MX 10	mail.panther.com.
@		IN A	192.168.0.2
panther.com.	IN A	192.168.0.2
mail.panther.com. IN A 	192.168.0.2
steve1.panther.com.	IN A 	192.168.0.22
steve2.panther.com.	IN A 	192.168.0.24
steve3.panther.com.	IN A 	192.168.0.26
www.panther.com.	IN CNAME panther.com.
www.panther.com.	IN CNAME steve1.panther.com.
www.steve2.panther.com.	IN CNAME steve2.panther.com.
www.steve3.panther.com.	IN CNAME steve3.panther.com.
