Almost There ...

[PC Tech]

This is my zone file template I use.  Dunno if it is RFC compliant or not,
but it doesn't return any errors.  Please feel free to use it.

$TTL 86400
$ORIGIN domain.com.
@       IN      SOA     ns1.domain.com. DNS-admin.domain.com. (
                2000040305      ; serial number YYYYMMDDxx format

# Erm ... there is no IP in there, except in the comment field, and I

# I put '$TTL 3600' at the _*very top*_ of the file.  Nothing before it, not

# For info., my /etc/namedd/127.0.0 file is like this (the others are

# As I mentioned, a colleague had promised to buy the book in the US, and
# bring it back.  He couldn't find it, and so I have to wait some more
# time.  This DNS box has been sitting here for about four months now, and
# I'd like to get it up and running before the end of the week.
