hi guys,
i need help on setting up caching nameserver in centos 5. thanks

Best option is to just install the caching-nameserver rpm for the version of bind you are running. it's normally available from the same place you got the bind rpm's from, e.g. yum, cd's etc... e.g. http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os...0.el5.i386.rpm

Thanks, after i install the rpm package and i restart the service i got this :

rpm -ivh caching-nameserver-9.3.3-10.el5.i386.rpm

what am i still doing wrong !!!! help

hi,
Better post the configuration files named.conf and the zone files

Also check the location of zone db files as its saying its not finding them. Are you using chroot for dns?

yes.. you are right i notice that centos 5 installs dns in chroot but all i need is just a caching-nameserver which i have intalled.
