IN { type hint; file "named.ca"; }; zone "localdomain" IN { type master; file "localdomain.zone"; allow-update { none; }; }; zone "localhost" IN { type master; file "localhost.zone"; allow-update { none; }; }; zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "named.local"; allow-update { none; }; }; zone "0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0 .0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.arpa" I$ type master; file "named.ip6.local"; allow-update { none; }; }; zone "255.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "named.broadcast"; allow-update { none; }; }; zone "0.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "named.zero"; allow-update { none; }; }; // i added this after reading the howto on traditional dns zone "72.195.64.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "seanhostip.zone"; allow-update { none; }; }; zone "seanhostings.com" IN { type master; file "seanhost.zone"; allow-update { none; }; }; include "/etc/rndc.key"; then i created the seanhostip and seanhost zones seanhost.zone looks like this $TTL 86400 @ IN SOA games.seanhostings.com. root.localhost ( 42 ; serial (d. adams) 3H ; refresh 15M ; retry 1W ; expiry 1D ) ; minimum IN NS games.seanhostings.com seanhostings.com IN A 64.195.72.81 www IN A 64.195.72.81 games IN A 64.195.72.81 seanhostip.zone looks like this $TTL 86400 @ IN SOA games.seanhostings.com. root.localhost.
