Hello, Can anybody tell me step by step procedure to configure caching only name server for my local network. Following packages are installed on the Fedora Core 6 server. I want this server to work as primary DNS for my network. I always find it very confusing configuring BIND.
bind-libs-9.3.4-8.P1.fc6 bind-chroot-9.3.4-8.P1.fc6 bind-utils-9.3.4-8.P1.fc6 bind-9.3.4-8.P1.fc6 caching-nameserver-9.3.4-8.P1.fc6
Thank you.

Rahul,
Take a look at the DNS HOWTO http://tldp.org/HOWTO/DNS-HOWTO.html for a basic introduction. That should be enough to satisfy your needs. However, if you want a more complex setup (ie. views and zones) the sample configuration files that are installed by the RPMs are very helpful. They might take a few reads to fully digest, but in the end it's all very logical and understandable.
