Bind and OpenLDAP

[Arjan Hulshoff]

Thanks for your reply.
I understand how to build an ldap string, however I don't understand the 
last part of this string. I think it is something specific for Bind. I 
am not sure though.
When I look at the following part of the string 
o=DNS,dc=example,dc=com,dc=no 10800. Actually I already know what 'dc=no 
10800' means, it is the $TTL part of a zone file. 'o=DNS' would mean to 
me, from ldap point of view, the organization. Probably it means 
something different.  What puzzles me the most is the 
'dc=example,dc=com' part. I think it is the ldap representation of the 
domain name, however I am not sure of that. What I don't know either, is 
the way I defined the 56.168.192.in-addr.arpa zone in the correct way 
(o=DNS,dc=56,dc=168,dc=192,dc=in-addr,dc=arpa,dc=no 10800).
So is the syntax in my named.conf correct and are my assumptions 
regarding the meaning of the ldap string correct.

TIA,
Arjan.
