The Configuration File /Etc/Named.conf - Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 10 SP2 - INSTALLATION AND ADMINISTRATION Installation Manual

Example 33.1 Forwarding Options in named.conf
options {
The options entry is followed by entries for the zone, localhost, and
0.0.127.in-addr.arpa. The type hint entry under "." should always be
present. The corresponding files do not need to be modified and should work as they
are. Also make sure that each entry is closed with a ";" and that the curly braces are in
the correct places. After changing the configuration file /etc/named.conf or the
zone files, tell BIND to reread them with rcnamed reload. Achieve the same by
stopping and restarting the name server with rcnamed restart. Stop the server at
any time by entering rcnamed stop.
33.4 The Configuration File
All the settings for the BIND name server itself are stored in the file /etc/named
.conf. However, the zone data for the domains to handle, consisting of the hostnames,
IP addresses, and so on, are stored in separate files in the /var/lib/named directory.
The details of this are described later.
/etc/named.conf is roughly divided into two areas. One is the options section
for general settings and the other consists of zone entries for the individual domains.
A logging section and acl (access control list) entries are optional. Comment lines
begin with a # sign or //. A minimal /etc/named.conf is shown in Example 33.2,
"A Basic /etc/named.conf" (page 629).
