Hi pls guide me on these as I am quite unsure :

The zone file has to be located in /var/named/zone right?
So is zone a directory or a file?
What is the extension of the file?
Can any name be given for the zone file?

In the DNS HOW TO User Guide, there are many samples given.

So if my server ip is 192.168.0.90 and the mail server name is mail.softsolvers.com.my, do I name my file "192.168.0.90"?

And then create the file according to the tutorial for
/var/named/zone/206.6.177?

NAME
polygraph-dns-cfg - DNS server configuration tool SYNOPSIS
dns-cfg [--option ...] DESCRIPTION
Given a zone name, DNS names, and IP addresses, dns-cfg builds configuration suitable for use with BIND and, perhaps, other DNS servers. Dns-cfg output consists of three parts. The first part is the text to cut-and-paste into BIND's named.conf file. This part is sent to the standard output. The outer two parts are direct and reverse zone files. Those may be quite large and are dumped on disk into the appropri- ately named files. Dns-cfg can use PGL configuration as the source of information. OPTIONS
--help list of options --version package version info --config <filename> PGL configuration --cfg_dirs <dirs> directories for PGL #includes --zone <str> zone name --addresses <str> IP addresses --names <str> domain names COPYRIGHT
