Named serves DNS records
Named is the deamon that provides DNS services. It runs on einstein, and should be running on roentgen and endeavour, but that needs fixing.
The configuration for DNS is in /etc/named.conf
The entries for the DNS are on einstein in /var/named/
After making any edits, make sure you reload the tables: /etc/init.d/named reload
There is still some legacy "Aaron" stuff in there that should be cleaned up. He should be working on moving the entries to other systems.
Named (Bind) Configuration
We run named in a "chroot jail" for safety. The jail is in /var/named/chroot. See Chroot-BIND-HOWTO. The chroot directory does NOT need a "proc", which messes up backups of "var".
