January 2012, I dont think these examples work any more for current releases.

I am trying to set up a dns caching server on windows 7 X64 for 10 computers in my shop running windows xp sp3. First of all is this going to work if I do this because it seems like it might be working but I am confused about something in your config.

zone “.” IN {
type hint;
file “named.ca”;
};
include “/etc/named.rfc1912.zones”;

You have these zones but I though there are no zones in a dns caching only server. I dont get what the incude is for do I even need that? Also in BIND 9 I dont see a resolve.conf file.

I’m wondering how can I install the new version of bind on my FC7 machine. I downloaded the src from isc, but it has been a pain to update my version of bind to the more recent.
