Thanks to all who wrote in suggestions. A few had the same suggestion
so I took those first. I posted my /etc/named.conf file. The
/etc/named.conf file states caching server configuration. I want this
to be the authoritative server. Don't know how to make that change.<br>
<br>
I edited the ironworks.zone file several times to no avail. I can't
read the logs real well but it is telling me unexpected end of input in
ironworks.zone file. I also posted new ironworks.zone file.<br>
<br>
I'm using Vi as my text editor.<br>
<br>
My version of BIND is 9.2.5. I am using 'chroot jail' explained here, a
web site I find useful for my skill level,
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/linux-hn/dns-static.htm">http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/linux-hn/dns-static.htm</a><br>
<br>
I get a response on reverse look using host command and 192.168.90.205!<br>
<br>
Other than /etc/named.conf and the two zone files (ironworks and
192-168-90.zone I believe the rest is default install (ipv6 and the
bogus files Jim pointed out) so I didn't remove / edit them.<br>
<br>
Any additional suggestions would be great.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Paul<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi all, I'm new to configuring DNS. I believe my set up is simple.
I have ftp, mail, dns, and www on the same machine. Can anyone check out
my log file and two zone files.
This page has the files <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.gotopinion.info/linux/index.html">http://www.gotopinion.info/linux/index.html</a>

First of all, add a link to your /etc/named.conf.
The log file shows two bogus zones each with serial 42.
zone 0.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 42
255.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 42
Your /etc/named.conf file should show why this is happening.
In your ironworks.zone file you have an entry for "localhost". This will
end up being localhost.ironworks.com which probably is not what you want.
Put localhost in its own zone. A typical localhost zone looks like this:
$TTL 86400
$ORIGIN localhost.
@ 1D IN SOA @ root (
42 ; serial (d. adams)
3H ; refresh
15M ; retry
1W ; expiry
1D ) ; minimum
1D IN NS @
1D IN A 127.0.0.1
Next, in the ironworks.zone file "localhost", "linux", "mail", "ns1",
"www", and "ftp" have leading whitespace. They should be smack up
against the left margin. This is what is causing the RR error message:
dns_master_load: ironworks.zone:13: unknown RR type 'localhost'
Try these changes, add a link to /etc/named.conf, and tell us what happened.
