Propagate new slave

[Ralph Brown]

Thanks..seems like I'm close to making this happen  :)

I corrected the missing "." at the end of the names.

...........I am not sure where to put my static IP#. I have included my
named.conf and zone files. The IP number of my web/mail server is
192.168.xxx.xxx. My DSL line static ip is 66.120.4.162. Do I need to change
my server IP# to that of my static IP, or can I set up a zone file with the
static IP#, and point web servers, or ?

## do I need to add a zone with my external static ip here??

zone  "." {
        type hint;
        file  "named.ca";
};


zone  "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file  "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa.zone";
};
zone  "123.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file  "123.168.192.in-addr.arpa.zone";
};



zone  "localhost" {
        type master;
        file  "localhost.zone";
};
zone  "policing.net" {
        type master;
        file  "policing.net.zone";
};
