Re: DNS Server Setup?
you need to setup some other dns servers for yours to reffer to if they
don't have the info. what you want to do is called a cahching dns server
for a reason. it keeps places already visited in a local cache. but,
you don't have a record of all of the sites on the entire internet right
away.
so, follow the howto as best as you can. but, at the very least.... add
some other dns's that you reffer to. it's in um... named.conf or
somthing like that in /etc/bind
