I don't think I need forward lookup in my DNS set-up. This is just for my local site. I don't want it to do any other DNS. My primary DNS is through the ADSL router to Ihug, and should run whether this server is online or not. I did have it working before I decided to pack the computer tidily (why hav you got STILL got computer bits all over the dining table??), blow up an small disk with the boot sector on it, and take the opportunity to do a fresh install of Fedora FC2 instead of RH9
I'm some way along by quite an involed process that included trying to remove all traces of DNS, then reinstalling it. I even considered a fresh install at one stage when I had problems removing the DNS from the computer using the gui but a bit more digging showed me how to remove BIND manually. (I'm a novice at this all this) rndc was still refusing connections, but even more research told me I need to set up and install a rndc key using rndc-confgen. I thought it was okay yesterday, but today it's not It. I'm still working on it today (why are you swearing at your computer, just fix it!!)
