hi Ed,
      this replaces 'named.boot' in earlier versions of bind. What 
u have below is the setup for a caching only nameserver with reverse
dns for 127.0.0.0 network. Hope that is some help. b.t.w. that should 
be fine for a standalone box to get u started anyways. Remember to do a 
man of 'resolv.conf' It also would not hurt to invest in the book called
'DNS AND BIND' in fact if u want to know all the gruesome details this 
is definately the way to go.

Reuters, London, February 29, 1998: 
Scientists have announced discovering a meteorite which will strike the 
earth in March, 2028.  Millions of UNIX coders expressed relief for being 
spared the UNIX epoch "crisis" of 2038.
