host_look("192.228.79.201","192.228.79.201","3236188105").
host_name("192.228.79.201","b.root-servers.net").

host_look("192.33.4.12","192.33.4.12","3223389196").
host_name("192.33.4.12","c.root-servers.net").

host_look("192.5.5.241","192.5.5.241","3221554673").
host_name("192.5.5.241","f.root-servers.net").

host_look("193.0.14.129","193.0.14.129","3238006401").
host_name("193.0.14.129","k.root-servers.net").

The IPs are ok.

zone "." in {
   type slave;
   file "DNSOP/cesidian-root.zone";
   masters { 212.97.45.53; };
};

This is mine. It works. The real directory is

options {
   directory "/var/named";
   pid-file "/var/run/named.pid";
...

/var/named/DNSOP

And the bind user must be allowed to write into this directory.


file "root.zone";

means /var/named if you have the same options.


Kind regards
Peter and Karin
