BIND Configuration Files

In this zone_data_files.cfg example, we specify a set of BIND configuration files.  Note how the #include directives incorporate the zone_data_common_files.cfg file to achieve some commonality (for example, of timings and NS and MX records) across every zone data file.

On the piktmaster system, we would, for example, install the db.pikt.org zone data file to the master name server system with the command:

# piktc -iv +F db.pikt.org +H dnsmaster
