The bind website is here http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/ but I would do a search of google. Although, some think that BIND is hard to configure and unsecure... I thought it was fairly easy and it has been secure for our company. Just recently, we started name serving all of our domains names (they were name served by our registrar) and the setup was so easy that I was convinced I had it wrong. Worked like a charm. Is in rpms. Also I just tried to use redhat-config-bind and setup a slave (backup) name server with it so quickly it was amazing. The process litterally went ly this: Installed RPM, ran redhat-config-bind, configured my slave (hit a couple of buttons, and entered an ip to the master), saved it, exited redhat-config-bind. And my slave was working. Next time I might try the redhat-config-bind to admin my current master... just haven't yet. Also chrooting named is fairly easy. HTH There is also djb-dns and there website is here: http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html if you need (or have time to compare). I installed it once but ultimately stuck with BIND... not sure why as it has been awhile. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
