$include

[Charles Bodley]

Thanks works fine now. I always thought that $ORIGIN was required. Out of
curiosity is there a way to look up all subdomains of a primary domain? The
only way I could come up with was to make a spare workstation into a slave
for their domain. This involves far more traffic than is really neccessary.
I could not find an option under Dig to do this. Is there one? For instance
I took over a domain (per orders from above) and they never told me it had a
subdomain of Imc2 pointed at an IP. Is there a tool for discovering this or
are the only options A. make a slave or B. call their IS department.

I hadn't even noticed that $ORIGIN at the beginning.  IMNSHO, they are
almost always confusing and evil.  Remove it.

Try:
TTL
$TTL	3600

NS
@			IN	NS	ns.tflogic.com.
@			IN	NS	ns2.tflogic.com.

; zone 'test.com'
$include /var/named/TTL

@		IN	SOA	test.com.  hostmaster.tflogic.com. (
				2001020101
				43200
				7200
				1209600
				3600 )
;
$include /var/named/NS
...

As I mentioned before, the "MX" include will NOT work.  However, you
can do this:

$include /var/named/MX

where the file MX contains:

@			IN	MX	10	tflogic.com.
