BIND 9.2.2 and OS X Tiger Server

[rreece-misc]

Hi Daniel,
If you are trying to get the hostname pointing to the local IPs, add this 
into your /etc/hosts file:

127.0.0.1               <hostname>
192.168.1.200   <hostname>

Currently you should see:

127.0.0.1       name1 localhost.localdomain localhost

(name1 is the name of the server that I copied this from)
