Hi

I am trying to use Bind as named. And I have successfully set up a
chrooted bind.

Anyway, I cannot have it resolve "www" directly.

For example, when I am using nslookup, when enter www.example.com, it
will resolve. But when enter www, it will not.
I want to have www resolve to www.example.com, what should I do? I
have already set $ORIGIN in the zone file, but it does not work.

Thanks.

If you have created a zone file for example.com
in /var/named/chroot/var/named/example.zone

All you need to do is to add the entry below to your zone file
www     A       ###.###.###.###

This is what I did anyway, and it is working great!!

Not quite.... This will only add a www record to your domain... What I think the original poster wants is to use the DNS Seach suffix functions of DHCP.

This will add the prefix automatically when the host tries to search for a DNS entry...

$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
search example.com
nameserver x.x.x.x
nameserver x.x.x.x

This will get you the desired results. You set it in your dhcpd.conf file as so:

        option domain-name              "example.com";
