newbie question...you are forewarned here

[Scott.Wiseman]

I just inherited an NT box. Moved it from someones house to our office.

I program ASP, SQL, Set NT Boxes, run a medium size network.
etc....

There are a few files that I am becoming familiar with

named.boot

which is in the c:\winnt directory

;
;    File:       named.boot
;    Purpose:    give the DNS its startup parameters and
;                list of startup files.
;
;
directory      c:\\win32app\\bind
;

check-names primary fail
check-names secondary warn
check-names response ignore

;
;    XFRNETS parameter limits the transfer of zone information
;    to machines matching the subnet wildcard/mask entries listed
;
;
;XFRNETS 206.111.104.0
;
;    establish a loopback entry for this machine, and tell
;    it to load its identity from db.127.0.0
;
primary 0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA db.127.0.0
;
;    set ourselves as primary server for the zone
;
;added whenever
primary blahblah.com DB.blahblah


and

DB.blahblah

which has...the following

;
;    File:      db.zoneinfo for blahblahnet.com
;    Purpose:   This file establishes the name/address information
;               for this zone.  You will have to fill out the actual
;               information for your specific zone in the format shown
;               in the comments.
;
;

using bind 4.9.5 on an nt box 4.0 service pack 3.0 256meg of memory on a 1.5

My Questions:

how do I point one domain to another.

www.bull.com to www.cat.com

why on the bind machine can I pull up certain domains they look like the
domains they should
and others point to the default domain.

some machines pull up the domain and others time out..
i.e. from an earthlink account find, from a zyan account not good.
is there a better control panel?

I bought the book dns and bind 3rd edtion...waiting for it...

i would love for someone to come on over here and fix it for me...Any
consultants out there.
