mask
Apply the default subnet mask mask to each network-number specified with
-N
for ones with their subnet masks already provided. mask must be in dot notation.
This is the same as supplying each network-number for a subnet using multiple
options.
server
This option is the same as the

Note: At least one name server (either default or explicitly declared using the
option) will be included in all the database files, in addition to those declared using the

-Z
Create a secondary boot file,

The host table is then used to create the name server data for each network-number declared on the com-
mand line. Do not include the trailing 0's in the network number. No distinction is made between class A,
B, or C addresses nor is there any understanding of subnets unless a subnet mask is supplied. Example
network numbers are: 10 (for all addresses of the form 10.*.*.*), 10.1 (for addresses of the form 10.1.*.*),
or 10.2.2 (for addresses of the form 10.2.2.*).
Address (A) records are created for mapping hostnames to IP addresses. Alias (CNAME) records are
created for aliases of hosts that are not multi-homed. The data are placed in a file named
where DOMAIN is the first part of the domain from the command line. For the domain
the file is named

Pointer (PTR) records are created for mapping IP addresses to host names. PTR records are placed in a file
named

Address (AAAA) records and A6 records are created for mapping hostnames to IPv6 addresses.
Pointer (PTR) records are created for mapping IPv6 addresses to host names. The IPv6 PTR records are
