The named.conf goes in /etc. The other two files go in /var/named, and

Who fulfills DNS requests for local machines if not anoka? I've been told
that bind doesn't look at /etc/hosts, which brought my world crashing down.
Now what? :-)
Thanks for your patience with me, I'm sure we're nearly at the bottom of
this.

the local LAN has to be handled by a NS that has authority for my LAN. Who

Hi Ed,
This is what I sent to Ric Tibbets privately. He bravely offered to help.
