DNS on Windows NT

Hi Dennis,

You don't give quite enough information to set up BIND. Three big questions:

   Which of nt-dns-primary & homer will be the primary name server?
   Will chrp be a separately delegated zone with it's own soa, etc, or
merely entries in the test.milwcnty.com domain?

I've made the following assumptions: nt-dns-primary will be the primary
nameserver (the name is a bit of a give-away :) ), chrp will be integrated
in the test.milwcnty.com domain, and these IP numbers are individually
allocated.

You need to set up the following files:
    In your windows directory (c:\winnt on my system)

       named.boot  (Change directory is this isn't your windows directory)

    In your BIND data directory (c:\win32app\bind on my system)

       db.test.milwcnty.com
       db.156.46.11.14
       db.156.46.11.15
       db.156.46.11.16

Here's the contents you need: (Sorry about the formatting, my NT BIND runs
secondary to my Linux one throughout and these were hand edited from auto
generated secondary files before testing )

+------- named.boot  --------+
;
;    File:       named.boot
;    Purpose:    give the DNS its start-up parameters and
;                list of start-up files.
;
;
directory      C:\\win32app\\bind      ; ********* Change as appropriate for
your system
;                                                   ; NB the double \\
;
;    establish a loopback entry for this machine, and tell
;    it to load its identity from db.127.0.0
;
primary 0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA db.127.0.0;
;    set ourselves as primary server for the zone
;
primary test.milwcnty.com db.test.milwcnty.com
;
;    provide reverse address-to-host mapping
;
primary 14.11.46.156.IN-ADDR.ARPA db.156.46.11.14
primary 15.11.46.156.IN-ADDR.ARPA db.156.46.11.15
primary 16.11.46.156.IN-ADDR.ARPA db.156.46.11.16
;
;    prime the DNS with root server 'hint' information
;
cache . db.cache
;

You should already have a db.127.0.0 file as part of the distribution.

Cheers

Bruce
