The experts will probably regard this as a technical question & get mad if I don't copy it to the questions list > Hi all, I'm trying to create a name server? does anyone know where I > could get a step by step format on this? > thanks > Having looked high & low for years for such a creature I'm fairly confident that there isn't any such beast in existence :) I dunno that it would be possible to explain that sort of witchcraft easily ..... its always been one of the more esoteric areas in a sea of complexity. I do have the O'Reilly "DNS & Bind" book but its a far far cry from "step_by_step" status. What has worked quite well for me is creating a simple caching nameserver by adding a named_enable="YES" line in /etc/rc.conf & adding the IP address of the machine to /etc/resolv.conf.
