Specifying a working directory for name server

[sudhakar]

Hi Cricket,
Thanks a lot for the response. But is there a location where we can specify
the location of /etc/named.conf as "/etc/namedb/named.conf".

I'd apprecaite your suggestions.

Thanks,

Sudhakar

In the options statement in named.conf:

options {
    directory "/etc/namedb";
};
