[Devil-linux-develop] Beefing up the named on DL

[Kari M. <ka...@tr...>]

Hi!

The default named configuration is rather empty.  On purpose?
The root.hint is there, but not much else.

On a proper installation you need/want name service also for the=20
localhost, and the 127.0.0 network. (Forward + reverse.)

Attached are versions of the core config files, which should be rather
suitable for everybody.  I think they are even ok for inclusion on the
default etc.tar.bz2.

The root.hint file on current DL CD is from 1997.  The attached version=20
is from 2004.

Hey,

thanks for the files.

Could somebody look over the files ? I don't really have much bind
experience...

Thx !

They look OK to me. (but no guarantees since I haven't tried them :)

One change I suggest is to rename all occurrences of "root.hint" with
"named.root".  That way it's easier to download the latest version
(using wget/curl/whatever) without renaming it from:

    ftp://ftp.internic.net/domain/named.root
