Starting BIND on Windows 2000

[Lists at Curtis-M-Kularski.com]

It is mentioned on page 80.  I tried the given information and some
variations of it and it did not work.  The command listed is #
/usr/sbin/named.  I reread that page and I understand a little better,
but where is that location located?  On a standard Windows system, where
should I place all of the configuration files and db(zonenamehere)
files?  After I have relocated the files (that currently live at
d:\windows\system32\dns\ect), what would be the appropriate startup
parameters? 

I have been working with DNS Zones for a few months now, but I am a
newbie with BIND. 

Your book has been a great help, I don't think I could have gotten this
far without it. 

Thank you for whatever information you can provide.

Sincerely,
Curtis M. Kularski

I just used Safari to search "DNS and BIND" for "/etc/named" and it only
occurs
in a few places:  some "ps" output that didn't change between versions
and a
BIND 4 debugging example.

Curtis, can you tell me which instructions you're referring to?

"/ect/named," as you might imagine, doesn't occur in the book.  :-)
