I found this message and I wanted a touch of clarification.  I've got a FreeBSD
machine that's supposed to take over a dying Mac (with "Clearly Home") for
serving a commercial site, and I wanna do it right the first time.

Thanks a bunch!

QUESTION: BY PRIMARY FILE HE MEANS /etc/namedb/db.ape.com  ?
WITH /etc/namedb/named.boot:

primary    bighost.com                           db.bighost.com
primary    (bighost IP reverse w/ arpa stuff)    bighost-reverse
primary    ape.com                               db.ape.com
primary    (ape backwards)                       ape-reverse


>nut.com's primary file
>        nut.com in soa, ns, ..
>
>        www.nut.com     in cname        www.bigserver.com

>and now we have bigserver
>       bigserver.com in ns, soa,...

>        www.bigserver.com       in ptr  123.45.56.12

>(you could make the others also PTR's and even do bogus reverse mapping
