Hi

Im currently tryign to setup BIND9 on my debian box. I install BIND9 via
"apt-get install bind9".  Named starts fine, but I do not get a responce
when I query the server, so im assuming I must have my configuration files
wrong. hopefully someone will spot my mistakes? as you can see, I have added
test.com which im using as a test.

heres what i have in /etc/bind/named.conf

options {
        directory "/var/cache/bind";

auth-nxdomain no;    # conform to RFC1035

};

// prime the server with knowledge of the root servers
zone "." {
        type hint;
        file "/etc/bind/db.root";
};

// be authoritative for the localhost forward and reverse zones, and for
// broadcast zones as per RFC 1912

zone "localhost" {
        type master;
        file "/etc/bind/db.local";
};

zone "127.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "/etc/bind/db.127";
};

zone "0.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "/etc/bind/db.0";
};

zone "255.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "/etc/bind/db.255";
};

// add entries for other zones below here

zone "test.com" {
        type master;
        file "/etc/bind/test-com.zone";
};


OK, now I have created /etc/bind/test-com.zone, which contains the
following:

;
; zone file for test.com
;
$TTL 3D
@    IN    SOA    ns0.test.com.    admin.test.com. {
                200405022       ; serial
                3600                 ; refresh
                3600                 ; retry
                3600                 ; expire
                3D }                 ; TTL
;
                NS   ns0           ; nameserver or IP
;
test.com.  MX 10 mx0      ; primary MX record
;
www          A       192.168.0.20
ns0             A       192.168.0.10
mx0            A       192.168.0.10
gw              A       192.168.0.1


And thats about it, I have made any other configuration changes to bind.

Thanks

Gareth
