Hi, John! And, as usual for OpenBSD, you can find out a lot without leaving your own computer. Besides the man pages (which have perhaps more info than a beginner is looking for), there are the stock config files in /var/named/etc/ to work from. Out of the box they'll give you a caching name server, and have examples (commented out) for both master and slave zones. To get it started on boot: # echo named_flags= >> /etc/rc.conf.local Then have your dhcp server give out the right address to clients. Besides web tutorials, there's the ORA book "DNS & BIND" and others. -- Darrin Chandler | Phoenix BSD Users Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://bsd.phoenix.az.us/ http://www.stilyagin.com/darrin/ |
