I believe I did - it certainly has the "new" style named.boot, etc.

:and it would work then. Now I get:
:
: calypso# nslookup localhost
: *** Can't find server name for address 127.0.0.1: Non-existent host/domain
: *** Default servers are not available
:
Here's what I get when I execute 'nslookup localhost':
Server: endor
Address: 0.0.0.0
Name: localhost.cfni.com
Address: 127.0.0.1
Notice that I did defy the package default of specifying the local IP
address as a nameserver in resolv.conf and instead left it as 0.0.0.0,
as the first edition BIND book suggests. I have no idea if this matters
:) (I also would not call myself a BIND guru).
I also see that I have a localhost entry in my primary SOA zone file ...
and I don't have a named.local file, which named.options seems to expect
to exist. It looks like I may have gotten lucky :)
If you like I can send snippets of my zone files. etc. if that would
somehow be helpful.
