Help!!!
I am running Slackware Linux version 3.5 and I am having all kinds of
problems trying to bring up a DNS server. I followed the DNS-HOWTO to
the letter and I am still getting errors. Here is the last part of my
"messages" file (after typing ndc start)...
Dec 15 12:04:29 www named[594]: starting. named 8.1.2 Sat May 23

ns.linux.bogus?
Dec 15 12:06:19 www named[595]: sysquery: findns error (SERVFAIL) on ?
Dec 15 12:06:32 www last message repeated 2 times
Dec 15 12:07:20 www named[595]: sysquery: findns error (SERVFAIL) on ?
What am I doing wrong, and what's with cache zone set to "" for IN? I
have attached all configuration files so if someone could help me out
with this I would be grateful!
TIA

# hosts This file describes a number of hostname-to-address
# mappings for the TCP/IP subsystem. It is mostly
# used at boot time, when no name servers are running.
# On small systems, this file can be used instead of a
# "named" name server. Just add the names, addresses
# and any aliases to this file...
#
# By the way, Arnt Gulbrandsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> says that 127.0.0.1
# should NEVER be named with the name of the machine. It causes problems
# for some (stupid) programs, irc and reputedly talk. :^)
