help with named under linux suse 6.2

[Kevin Darcy]

It's not clear *what* you are trying to ping, www, mail, etc.
"bernoulli"? "gallileo" (that should be "galileo", shouldn't it?)? "www"?

One problem I can see offhand is that you haven't dot-terminated the
MX targets.

Why do you have "filo", "www", etc. in "named.local"? Did you really mean
to create names like "filo.local", "www.local"?

What file are those PTR records in? It's not clear.

And what do you mean by "(not local)"? If you mean "Internet", then
obviously ping, www, mail, etc. won't work for private
192.168.*.* addresses...
