Hi everyone,

Ahsan, thanks for the help.
Anyways, I did what ever you guys instructed me to do.However,
named just refuses to get off the ground.
the other computers on my network just refuse to connect to my NS and exit with a ":timed out, no servers reached"  error
I've attached my  config files (please don't laugh at them :-(  ). Could anyone have a look at them and tell me what I'm doing wrong here

When I stop named , I get an error rndc :connect failed : connection refused

Thanks,
Joy.M.M

// From the release notes:
//  Because many of our users are uncomfortable receiving undelegated answers
//  from root or top level domains, other than a few for whom that behaviour
//  has been trusted and expected for quite some length of time, we have now
//  introduced the "root-delegations-only" feature which applies delegation-only
//  logic to all top level domains, and to the root domain.  An exception list
//  should be specified, including "MUSEUM" and "DE", and any other top level
//  domains from whom undelegated responses are expected and trusted.
// root-delegation-only exclude { "DE"; "MUSEUM"; };
