I've got a recursive setup for my clients, of which my named.conf has:

zone "." { type hint;
               file "named.root";
};
followed by my .in-addr.arpa zones
followed by the zone statements for the many domain names which I host.

upon looking I see that I also have:
  zone "name" { type delegation-only; };
 .. but I have the same statements for "net" "org" "com" etc, and they all
resolve just fine..

what more info do you need?

sure would like to have .name resolve like all the others do (presently).

Thanks!
