I wan't to run a caching-only name server to hopefully speed things up. I
followed the HOWTO but now when I run ndc start or just named it says it can't
load named.conf. The HOWTO and various other help-files/manuals don't even
speak about this named.conf file. What should be in there? What am I to do?

If you had BIND-4.9.x before, then you should have a named.boot file
already. The BIND-8 sources contain a program which allows you to
automatically generate a named.conf from it.

1. Problems with DNS/named 'remembering' old machine names
I'm running Redhat 6.1 as our internet gateway. DNS (named) is
running and providing DNS services to all internal NT/WIN95/Unix
machines.
My problem is that on the gateway itself, it still has old machine
names (that have been retired and trashed) "somewhere" in it's
"memory".
For example, over a year ago I had a machine named "grnellied" at IP
172.20.1.16. (We use the 172.20.1.x scheme internally). Now the
machine at 172.20.1.16 is grhollyh. If I ping grnellied from the
gateway it pings to 172.20.1.16. If I ping grhollyh it also pings
172.20.1.16.
Now what's really strange is that any other machine on our network
that points to our gateway as the DNS server returns the correct info.
For example, from our SCO Unix box grnellied is not a valid name.
The machine grnellied does not exist in /etc/hosts, nor in any other
file in /etc. It also does not exist in any file under /var/named.
It also does not exist in DNS since all other machines can't find it.
I have as the search order on the gateway machine set to "hosts/bind"
and "bind/hosts" with no change.
So, where are these old machine names and their IPs being stored? How
to I get rid of them?
Thanks in advance!
