Bind problems

[Chefy Tim]

I have recently setup a RedHat 9 linux PDC with DHCP, DNS and Samba
installed on it. 

I really have never setup DNS on Linux before and appear to be having some
problems.

I have several Windows XP machines that have been successfully joined to the
Linux "domain" and are connecting without any problems including a login
script that maps to shares on the Linux box.

The Windows clients can ping the server with the friendly name but not the
fully qualified domain name. DHCP also seems to be working flawlessly.

When a Windows machine boots up I get a couple of error messages in the
system log of the Linux box like these.

Also, do I need to keep the 127.0.0.1 (localhost) entries in these files?
In other words, do I need a local zone?

Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
