You need two entries for your domain in named.boot, if you have the newer named it's named.conf and the entries are similar: primary mn.mtu.net mn.mtu.net primary 42.168.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA 192.168.42 Then the file mn.mtu.net looks like this: @ IN SOA eggplant.mn.mtu.net. hostmaster.eggplant.mn.mtu.net. ( 2000021001 ; serial 28800 ; refresh 7200 ; retry 604800 ; expire 86400 ; default_ttl ) @ IN NS eggplant @ IN MX 10 eggplant localhost IN A 127.0.0.1 router IN A 192.168.42.100 And the file 192.168.42 looks like so: @ IN SOA eggplant.mn.mtu.net. hostmaster.eggplant.mn.mtu.net. ( 2000021001 ; serial 28800 ; refresh 14400 ; retry 3600000 ; expire 86400 ; default_ttl ) @ IN NS eggplant.mn.mtu.net. 100 IN PTR router.mn.mtu.net. Any you have a domain with reverse pointers, very handy for speeding up ssh connects. -- Jon Schewe | http://mtu.net/~jpschewe | jpschewe at mtu.net For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39
