I've updated the mit-named package in /mit/linux/packages.
1) I updated the root nameservers to the new, approved,
X.ROOT-SERVERS.NET addresses. This shouldn't show much of an
effect.
2) I added a local domain for 127.IN-ADDR.ARPA, so that each
machine is canonical for that domain. This way, your machine will be
able to find 127.0.0.1 properly. If you've ever had a problem with
nslookup claiming it couldn't find 127.0.0.1, this should solve your
problem.
If you are already running named, all you need to do is install the
new mit-named.tgz, and then run /etc/named.restart
If you are not running named, then you should. First, install the
mit-named.tgz package. Then you need to modify /etc/rc.d/rc.inet2 and
uncomment the lines where named is started. Then change your
/etc/resolv.conf so that it reads as follows. Then reboot your
machine and everything should be running normally.
