[TriLUG] DNS ( BIND 9 )

[Brian McCullough]

OK, I give up.

As I mentioned a while ago, I used to be quite familiar with BIND 4 and
was able to set up DNS servers that worked.  I also have managed to get
BIND 8 to work sometimes, but don't seem to be able to get my latest
machine to cooperate.

I am running OpenBSD 3.5 on this machine, and intend to provide a local
DNS server for my internal network, passing through all other domains to
the outside.  I have been reading various postings, and trying the
suggestions given, as you will see in the following files.  I suspect
that all of my problems are within the named.conf file, since I don't
think that zone files have changed drastically.  Because of that, I will
start by just posting /var/named/etc/named.conf ( that is the "official"
one, right, since I don't seem to find one in /etc. ) .  

BTW, is there a difference in using the IP address of the local machine or should I always use 127.0.0.1 in the /etc/resolv.conf file? ( If that makes sense. )


OK, here is /var/named/etc/named.conf:

So, what obvious mistake have I made?
