If you want to setup a local dnsserver. You can use these files. This works for Redhat 5.0 en 5.1. When using RedHat 5.2 you will have to use the named-bootconf.pl script to convert you /etc/named.boot file to a proper /etc/named.conf file. Syntax: named-bootconf.pl /etc/named.boot > /etc/named.conf I assumed that during installation you gave your machine the name ns.notreal.com, otherwise you should replace ns.notreal.com in the example below to something that fits you configuration. I also assumed that you machine's IP address is 192.168.2.1
