Need help with DNS mini-lab

[Joshua Peter]

I'm a total newbie and got a couple of test computers set up to learn how to 
administer DNS with Bind. I'm using RH9 and the following are my files.

#NS1 /etc/named.conf
// generated by named-bootconf.pl

options {
        directory "/var/named";
        /*
         * If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
         * to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source
         * directive below.  Previous versions of BIND always asked
         * questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 uses an unprivileged
         * port by default.
         */
query-source address 192.168.1.200 port 53;
};

        inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey; };
};

        allow-transfer { 192.168.1.201; };
};
