LINUX NEWBie needs help

Ok, so I decided to convert one of my old boxes to linux (RH7.3) to fool around with. My first order of business is to setup a dns caching server on it, but i'm not having much luck.

If one of you nix pros could walk me through it, that would be great.

I had read some How-to's on the web that refered to named.boot files and named.local files in the /etc dir...but i could not find them there after installing bind 9. Do i need to create these myself? Also, I have already dled named.ca from internic and placed it into /etc.

Ive made several attemps to get this working without any luck. BTW, I plan on using my domain cyberfrogs.net (if that makes a difference)

TIA

The DNS-HOWTO was pretty straight forward for me. I generally keep all my bind config files in /etc/bind, but that's probably because that's where Debian puts them in their packages. And the Debian config files are setup for caching out of the box =)

You can tell named which config file to use with -c, so it can really be anywhere. In the config file you tell it the full path to the zone files so they can be anywhere. If they don't exist create them.
