help please with bind9 on OpenBSD...(long)

I am trying to set up a local authorative + caching dns server for my private office intranet. I do have the cach working.

My server is Bind 9.2.3 on OpenBSD 3.5. I am a web-database developer and this same server hosts all my projects. I want to take advantage of Apache's name-based Virtual hosts while avoiding the win-client-hosts-file-from-hell syndrom.

I cant seem to find specific instructions on how to do this. I have tried the "Bet you want to setup a DNS server huh?" thread (along with countless others) and always run into the same error.

When I run: #>named-checkzone wcs.inet wcs.inet
I get: dns_rdata_fromtext: wcs.inet:8: near eol: unexpected end of input
zone wcs.inet/IN: loading master file wcs.inet: unexpected end of input




My intranet is as follows;
router IP:192.168.0.1,
-does dhcp (.100 to .200) for all clients,
-sets primary dns:192.168.0.2 and 2nd and 3rd to my ISP's DNS IPs

my server; hostname:spock, IP: fixed 192.168.0.2, domain: wcs.inet(internal only)



relevent files;

/var/named/master/wcs.inet

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks In Advance

let me make sure I got the right impression here. Attach (don't paste) your "wcs.inet" file, and paste the response to these commands. Only the middle command actually outputs something. The first and last simply stops and starts the server.

rndc stop
named -u named -g
named -u named

Thanks SR....

PS I had to add the .txt so wcs.int would upload.....

Welp, looks like it's a case of you not following directions. I think you tried to shortcut and modified your existing files to match up with my files without actually following my tutorial step by step. Anyway, here's the difference:

yours


mine


rdata_from_text says unexpected end of line (eol) cause it expected 1 more data field. Your SOA record is incomplete.

What I posted was the end result of many other bits and pieces I found elsewhere.

You are right I didnt follow your steps exactly. :-(

I'll give your solution a try later and report back.

Thanks very much....
