I have also checked the above and reviewed it.... and attempted to follow the configuration file samples; however I noticed in CentOS is that I either: - use the Bind Configuration Tool or - configure DNS manually (byhand, hence the above reference should be followed). As I am a newbie, I attempted to configure using the Bind Configuration Tool (GUI) that automatically creates my records files; The questions I have are: 1. Is there some URL or reference that has a "step-by-step-DNS configuration" based upon the Bind configuration Tool (GUI)? the manuals is not a cookbook and could potentially cause newbies to make mistakes. the HOW-TO-FORGE document - does NOT show step-by-step but only shows how to INSTALL bind. ... If anyone is aware of such a link, I would appreciate pointers to where. 2. I did not seem to find a place to configure my /etc/resolv.conf - do I configure this from the Network Manager? Again, I feel that I should configure all via GUI since it seems that if I configure sometimes by editing files or by GUI, then the configuration gets messed up. thanks in advance, _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
