DNS - Root servers problem

[Nicolas_17]

Thanks Harry,

I'm not to sure what the .key and .private are for though...care to shed some light on that?

Actually you should generate your own rndc keys.

After installing bind 9.2 from software.hp.com, do a man on rndc-confgen

the "keys" are for "rndc" commands.

Alleluia! (not sure about the spelling)

I tried to put our ISP's DNS servers addresses as forwarders this morning and it didn't work. So the network admin suggested that I put our proxy's address, since the unix machine doesn't have direct connection to those DNS servers. It worked!

Thanks to all...

P.S. For that other thing, the one about the login being really slow on the DNS server...I delete the entry in my local host file (my desktop) for that server, and that seemed to fix it!
