I think I have made the necessary entries in /etc/sysconfig and named.boot and I have installed named.root but the machine hangs (or seems to hang) on boot up just after looking at and reporting on ed0. I can Ctrl-c past that and boot, but I never get a working name server. If you know the proper format for the domain.top-domain.db files needed for each domain, I could use that to compare to what I am using. I have copied the Sun OS format, but I don't think FreeBSD likes it very much. (This is FreeBSD 2.0 if that matters. I am thinking of upgrading.) Thanks for any help anyone may be able to afford. - Ralph Huntington
