[BIND] db_load problem for a RR

[Joe Kattner]

You specify the directory in which they belong. Most people use /var/named,
but it can be elsewhere. Check the named.conf, options section for the
'directory' statement. This is where named will look for zone files. If you
don't have a directory statement, then you should make one and put all
you're zone files there.

Then look at the zones and their file statements. What is there is the
actual file name for that zone. If a directory is specified in addition to
the file name, named will use that.

options {
	directory "/var/named";
	.....
};

zone "test.lan" {
	.....
	file "test.lan";
};
# Only file name specified, named will use /var/named/test.lan for this zone
file.

zone "workstations.test.lan" {
	.....
	file "sub/workstations.test.lan";
};
# directory and file name specified, named will use
/var/named/sub/workstations.test.lan for this zone file.
# Uses the default '/var/named', then relative to that, adds 'subs'
directory for the zone file.

Roy,

The files are in the same directory as "named.conf".
