Greetings All,
    I have installed  the Bind DNS package  in Fedora Core 6. The Bind
    version is 9.3.4.
    The /etc/named.conf which is provided by caching-nameserver is missing.
    But another file is there  , named.rfc1912.zones which is having the
same
    format as /etc/named.conf .
    If I rename named.rfc1912.zones  to named.conf and restart the named
    service , it fails with the following errors.

""
Stopping named:                                            [FAILED]

 f I configure named.rfc1912.zones , named works fine and name
resolution occurs  for the configured domain.

 So, I want to know whether with the current versions of bind ,
named.conf has been  renamed to  named.rfc1912.zones .

Also ,  Is it O.K to use  named.rfc1912.zones  as the bind configuration
file .  If that is not the case , please let me know how to   use
named.conf  with the later versions of Bind.
 With Thanks in Advance.
