Bind Setup

[Brian Salomaki]

To answer your first question, the named.conf file will usually go in /etc/.  
For more information, you can consult the documentation provided with Bind 
(I'm not sure where it is since I don't know what distribution you're using, 
but try /usr/local/doc/ or /usr/share/doc/).  Probably your best source 
though, would be to buy a couple books...pick up one on Linux administration 
in general, and play around in the OS, and then also get the Bind & DNS book 
from O'Reilly.
