This is a summary of the solution sent to me by Joe Doran
It may not have every last option or be fully optimized, but it
works!!!!!!
It allows all Win95 machines to resolve local names and FrontPage 98
will start immediately (not error after 5 mins). When the server dials
my ISP, all PC's on the intranet have access to the internet through
masquerading.
<<< From Joe Doran >>>>>>
Things assumed:
Your domain name starnet.com.
Your server name is dns0.
in /etc/resolv.conf you have:-
domain starnet.com
nameserver 192.168.0.1
Your /etc/named.boot should look like:-
; boot file for name server
;
directory /usr/local/named
; type domain source host/file backup
file
cache . root.cache
domain starnet.com
primary starnet.com named.hosts
primary 0.168.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA named.rev
forwarders xxx.xxx.xxx.10 xxx.xxx.xxx.11 <<-these are the ISP's
nameservers->>
Contents of /usr/local/named/named.hosts :-
@ IN SOA dns0.starnet.com.
graham.dodd.starnet.com. (
1 ; Serial
10800 ; Refresh after 3 hours
3600 ; Retry after 1 hour
604800 ; Expire after 1 week
86400 ) ; Minimum TTL of 1 day
IN NS dns0.starnet.com.
IN MX 20 yourisps.smtp.host.
IN MX 10 dns0.starnet.com.
dns0 IN A 192.168.0.1
wardbird1 IN A 192.168.0.2
wardbird2 IN A 192.168.0.2
Contents of /usr/local/named/named.rev :-
@ IN SOA dns0.starnet.com.
graham.dodd.starnet.com. (
1 ; Serial
10800 ; Refresh after 3 hours
3600 ; Retry after 1 hour
604800 ; Expire after 1 week
86400 ) ; Minimum TTL of 1 day
IN NS dns0.starnet.com.
1 IN PTR dns0.starnet.com.
2 IN PTR warbird1.starnet.com.
3 IN PTR warbird2.starnet.com.
And finally copy root.cache into /usr/local/named
Note: root.cache holds the info for the root domain name servers. It can
be ftp'd from ftp.rs.internic.net, it's in the domain subdirectory and
called named.boot
