Named reverse lookup files problem (converting from Solaris to Linux)

Named reverse lookup files problem (converting from Solaris to Linux)

I was wondering what needs to be converted below for it to work with linux
named... this is from a Solaris 2.5.1 machine.

# End of paste.

Copying them over and editing the boot.conf to include these files, loads
these with errors. I have tried looking at other examples listed for linux
on
the net and modifying these without any luck, my lack of non-experience with
setting up named is killing me here... Also... do I need both the 192.168.1
and 192.168 when I define the 192.168? That's the way the solaris machine
was
setup. These file pasted above are running on the solaris machine currently
and haven't been modified. The other required named files are working (ones
that defaultly came setup with linux).

Thanks for any help,
JT

Thanks for the zone files, but perhaps a quicker way of finding the faults,
would be to see the output of the bind errors.  Additionally, it would also be
helpful to see which version of BIND you are using.  If you are using 9, you
will need to add the TTL directive.  You will need this even though it is
specified in the SOA.

See ya
