Yes, I see what you mean.  But it does seem that the book spreads the 
information over several files (named.hosts, named.local, etc).  Whereas 
the webpage places this information all within mydomain.db.  I can see the 
reasons for doing it, but I found it quite confusing initial.  I'll have 
to read more of Chapter 8.

Thanks for your help.  cheers.
