How you use BIND kinda depends on your goals, from my experience. Do note that the page you cite does not describe setting up a master server for "serving" authoritative DNS info to the Internet at large; it does state that you should read the previous page for more information (where, at the very least, the subject is given a more complete overview, and some fairly good detail). One real important detail, from my experience: when setting those TTL numbers in zone files, make Real Sure(tm) you don't put in any extra digits. :-) KDK
