[comp.unix.ultrix] named configuration

gerry@swift.cs.tcd.ie (11/07/90)

We would like to set up an authoritative named server for a domain on a
machine that is someway down the domain tree, e.g. we would like
joe.bloggs.house_a.city to be the principal authoritative server for
the city domain. We would also like to be able to answer queries
from john.doe.house_b.city as well as from jack.bloggs.house_a.city.
Is this possible? It says so on page 13 of RFC882. We run ULTRIX 4.0
on a 5820 with about a dozen diskless 2100s but I have not been able
to correctly set up the named.* files. Could somebody send me some
simple examples.

I am intereste in porting the NAMED server and any other required daemans/files to my CCI Power 6/32 running UNIX 5.3. Are any kernel IP modifications required?Is the NAMED software public domain? if so where and how do I get it? Has anyoneon the net done this? How many Man/months?

No kernel mods are neede - you must relink anything that needs to look names
or addresses up - ie things that call gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr.
(A pain as this needs the sources or .o of them).

The source can be got from uunet /networking/bind_something
