In /etc/named.conf

# zone "." in {
#   type hint;
#   file "/etc/root.hint";
# };


zone "." in {
   type master;
   file "myroot.zone";
};



In the file myroot.zone

.         7200    IN      SOA     myserver. admin.myserver. 2007051501 7200 7200 604800 7200
.         3600    IN      NS      myserver.
myserver. 86400   IN      A       192.168.0.1



replace myserver with the name of your server. Dont forget the "." at the end.
Insert your ip address.


Maybe this is not optimum, because now your server answers every query.
For all queries outside you domain it returns NDXOMAIN.


Kind regards
