You need to let named start if you haven't aleady. There is a line in sysconfig that you just need to uncomment. go into /etc/namedb and make sure named.boot exists and has an uncommented line for cache . named.root That should be it as long as you haven't done anything to upset the default configuration. Hope this helps. > What I want to do is install a local DNS (just upgraded from 2.1.5 to > 2.2.1) that responds to local queries; bounces out to the ISP's DNS when > needed; but retains a cache of recently used resolutions (say for 30 > minutes or so). > > I have O'Reilly "DNS & Bind".
