Named Errors Help needed (0/1)

[Mark_Andrews at isc.org]

	BIND 8 uses a different configuration file syntax to BIND 4
	and hence the default confiuration file name was changed
	from named.boot to named.conf so that by default named would
	not be reading a file of the wrong format.

	Depending apon which release you are running there are different
	conversion programs to translate a named.boot file to a equivalent
	named.conf.

	For 8.1.1 there is a perl script src/bin/named/named-bootconf.pl
	that will do the conversion for you.

	BIND 8.1.1 in not recommended to be run as it contains security
	flaws.
