All right - problem solved. Don't bother any more. I figured it out today after a loooong session of tweaking around with the values. Maybe I'll chalk up a tutorial on it.
Thanks all the same...

Ya - named.conf exists, so dose resolv.conf and the named.local too...
Let me tell you what I did step by step:
1. First ran rndc_config_gen to generate the rndc keys
2. included the generated key in the named.conf file and for say my own domain, xxx - created a zone in named.conf
zone "ns1.xxx" {
type master;
file "/var/named/ns1.xxx.db";
};
and a reverse zone
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "named.local";
allow-update { none; };
};
3. Modified the file /var/named/ns1.xxx.db to contain:
$TTL somevalue;
ns1.xxx. 14400 IN A myServerIP
localhost. ns1.xxx 14400 IN A 127.0.0.1
- umm.. after that I kind got lost and saved he file and tried to do nslookup/dig on my domain .... didn't quite work out. I'll go through the page you posted and let you know... It'll be quite helpful though, if you can give me a sample of your named.conf, resolv.conf and the zone file and your domain name - maybe I can go through the params and figure out what to do...
Thanks

Hi all,
BIND is already installed on my server (am using Fedora Core 2) - can anyone help me in setting up the DNS Zones and configuring the named.conf - preferrbaly the NON-GUI way ?? I'm more comfortable with the console and vi way. I've tried in uncountable ways and all it has given me are uncountable bad hair days...
Thanks
The named.conf file should already exist right? I don't think we alter this at all but I'll check in it later and see if I made any changes to this, I believe we create /etc/named.local although this file may already have existed too and we alter our /etc/resolv.conf file, I definitely know this file was always there.
Anyways here's a link that should help you and probably would correct myself too. http://www.stanford....ns/Caching.html
