It's not terribly important, and I'd do a grep on your entire /var/named
(or wherever your zone files live) for CHAOS...
Basically, there are three classes of address that BIND supports...
>From O'Reilly's DNS/BIND book:
A.1.5 Classes
(From RFC 1035, page 13)
CLASS fields appear in resource records. The following CLASS mnemonics and
values are defined:
IN
1 the Internet
CS
2 the CSNET class (obsolete - used only for examples in some obsolete
RFCs)
CH
3 the CHAOS class
HS
4 the Hesiod class
You might want to consult RFC 1035 for more info :)
The most useful thing I can think of for the CHAOS class is the following:
gdh@eddie:~/test$ nslookup -q=txt -class=CHAOS version.bind. 0
That'll only work on real nslookup's, which doesn't include the current
Debian one which complains about being deprecated...
gdh
