Installation instructions for bind (nameserver) on FC4 (example sample.com domain).

Edit the file /etc/name.conf adding:

zone "sample.com" IN {
       type master;
       file "zone.sample.com";
};

Edit the file /var/named/zone.sample.com creating:

;
; dns zone for for sample.com
;
$ORIGIN sample.com.
$TTL 1D
; any time you make a change to the domain, bump the
; "serial" setting below. the format is easy:
; YYYYMMDDI, with the I being an iterator in case you
; make more than one change during any one day
@ IN SOA dev dev (
       200603011 ; serial
       8H ; refresh
       4H ; retry
       4W ; expire
