what abt freebsd is BIND best option avliable ...:?

[flashwebhost]

I think BIND is popular. djbdns by author of qmail is said to be very secure and light weight.

I just installed bind9-9.3.1 on FreeBSD from ports. But it is not starting. I just renamed the rndc.conf.sample to rndc.conf, may be i need to add some thing to this file.

freebsd# rndc start
rndc: connect failed: connection refused
freebsd#

check ur logs at /var/log to see the error

might be wrong named.conf setting

Thanx people..i was looking out for this kind of tutorial...

[halox]

I tried and I still can't get one going. I give up.

[flashwebhost]

halox, you may need

named_enable="YES"

in your /etc/rc.conf

I think FreeBSD start needing this recently. On my server MySQL worked with out this, after a upgrade, mysql stoped working, atlast found it need mysql_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf

[halox]

That fixed it! Thanks!
