Ahhhh !!!

So there was a field missing ... 

I copied the example you gave me, and my error message now is ...

# dmesg |grep -i named
May 21 16:28:54 dnsx /usr/local/sbin/named[174]: [ID 866145 daemon.notice]
starting BIND 9.1.2
May 21 16:28:57 dnsx /usr/local/sbin/named[174]: [ID 866145
daemon.warning] the default for the 'auth-nxdomain' option is now 'no'
May 21 16:28:57 dnsx /usr/local/sbin/named[174]: [ID 866145 daemon.error]

dns_zone_load: zone company.internal.com/IN: loading master file
company.internal.com.db: unexpected token

The file in question, looks like this ...

# cat company.internal.com.db
$TTL 3600
company.internal.com.	SOA dnsx.company.internal.com. dns.company.com. (
                                    2000051800 86400 7200 3600000 10800 )

smtp.company.internal.com.	A	192.168.1.250
lesulis01.company.internal.com.	A	192.168.3.10

That's it ... 

As a matter of interest, I've just ordered 'DNS & BIND 4th Edition' from
Amazon, express delivery ... so hopefully, I shall soon be able to stop
asking these silly questions, but for the moment ...
