I suppose, system-config-bind is currently not a good starting point. The included help file is out of sync with the current program version. So, for a starter is hard to figure out what has to be done. I couldn't manage to let the program write a configuration file at all. It always crashes with a python traceback when I instruct it to save the configuration (I've to figure out weather I entered something wrong into one of the entry fields or the program crashes by itself - so no bugzilla entry yet). > Also for any beginner to DNS needing to get into serious > DNS configuration, the book 'DNS and BIND', Abitz & Liu, 2nd.

If desired I can send you a template for the requirred files. Peter
