set parenr DNS server

hi

i am using slackware 10 and bind is configured as caching dns server
now i would like to add a new parent DNS (e.g. 192.9.9.3) on its configuration.
it seems that i must change /etc/named.conf , but how ?

thanks

I'm not exactely sure what your asking. If you want to use another DNS server as a primary to yours, then just add the other name server to your /etc/resolv.conf file.

Code:

nameserver 192.9.9.3
nameserver YOUR_IP_ADDRESS

Unless your working for Sun Microsystems, I don't think it would be a good idea to use 192.9.9.3 address.

Code:

# whois 192.9.9.3

OrgName:    Sun Microsystems, Inc
OrgID:      SUN
Address:    4150 Network Circle
City:       Santa Clara
StateProv:  CA
PostalCode: 95054
Country:    US

NetRange:   192.9.9.0 - 192.9.9.255
---snip---

# nslookup 192.9.9.3
Server:         192.168.1.10
Address:        192.168.1.10#53

Non-authoritative answer:
3.9.9.192.in-addr.arpa  name = ns.Sun.COM.

If your asking about creating a primary DNS zone, then this article has a good explaination about Bind:
