Package: bind
Version: 4.9.3-P1-2
(The error message is right at the end, but I've quoted all of the
context.)

Warning: Your named.boot file is being restructured to fit the Debian scheme
for BIND configuration. The following files will be created as a result:
/var/named/named.boot.old - your original named.boot
/var/named/named.boot - new file; should not be modified
/var/named/boot.options - named options file; you may modify some
/var/named/boot.zones - named zone configurations; you may modify all
It is recommended that you answer Y to the following question ...
Overwrite /var/named/boot.options with a new configuration? [Y] y
BIND Configuration
------------------
By answering the following questions, you can configure BIND for your system.
Default values are determined either by your existing configuration or from
common usage.
Press [ENTER]
Forwarder Hosts
---------------
If you are close to a well-connected host or set of hosts which accept
recursive DNS queries, it would be to your advantage to use them as forwarders
in order to reduce traffic over links to outside servers.
Your DNS server will send all queries not in its cache to the forwarders
first. Each forwarder will be asked in turn until an answer is returned or the
list is exhausted. If no answer is forthcoming from a forwarder, the server
will continue as it would have without the forwarders.
To answer this question, separate each address with a space, or answer `NONE'
to eliminate all forwarder hosts.
Forwarder IP addresses? [193.122.233.1 193.122.233.17 192.91.199.4]
Forward Only
------------
You can configure your DNS server as a "slave" -- that is, it will only query
the forwarder host(s) for answers to queries not in its cache. This is
recommended if your machine is not directly connected to the Internet, because
your server will not try to contact hosts other than the forwarders.
Enable forward-only mode? [N] n
Localhost Entries
-----------------
With this option, BIND will contain entries for the `localhost' pseudo-host
and its reverse mapping (127.0.0.1). This is recommended.
Enable localhost entries? [N] y
Configuration Complete
----------------------
Advanced configuration, such as sortlists, xfrnets, limits, and other options
can be accomplished by manually editing the /var/named/boot.options
configuration file. You may wish to refer to the named(8) man page or review
the documentation in /usr/doc/net/named to assist in further customization.
This automatic configuration does not manipulate zone files; you should ensure
the proper boot entries are made in /var/named/boot.zones for each primary and
secondary zone you are serving. If you leave this file empty, your server will
act conveniently as a caching-only name server.
