[Cialug] FC3 DNS PROB

[frankie]

	I think I got it. Found a DNS howto and chowned the permissions on 
named.conf to named.named, then created a soft link to 
/var/named/mayhem.nut.hosts from 
/var/named/chroot/var/named/mayhem.nut.hosts. When I rebooted and check 
the logs I am got:
  /etc/named.conf:27: when using view statements, all zones must be in 
views. I deleted the view entry from named.conf and rebooted. This 
produced the error localdomain already exists. I checked and named.conf 
had two entries so i deleted the second entry. I checked the logs and 
named had not started due to a fatal error. So I ran /etc/init.d/named 
restart and it restarted OK. Ran dig and status changed from NXDOMAIN 
to NOERROR. Nslookup changed to 'Can't find mayhem.nut: No answer' from 
'" ":nxdomain'.  Host command pulls up IP addy and named-checkzone is 
OK. If this helps anyone, the frustration will have been worth it. 
Thanks to those who responded.
