I am running vesion bind-8.2.2_P5-9. Named is in the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directory. But I am not sure how it is being run? What I am trying to do is use this virgin server as a back DNS server. So I am pointing my primary at this server and I have put the information in the /etc/named.boot. Do both versions of Bind need to be the same on both the primary and the secondary server?
