Re: [SLE] Caching DNS server in Suse 10.1

Thus, for a real internet name cache thing, we need named from bind. As it
comes in the rpm, without doing anything, it already works in that manner.
We only need to edit /etc/named.conf, find the "forwarders" line, and put
there our ISP DNSs.

Addendum:

Added my ISP's DNS server IP addresses to /etc/named.conf

# The forwarders record contains a list of servers to which queries
# should be forwarded. Enable this line and modify the IP address to
# your provider's name server. Up to three servers may be listed.

forwarders { 4.2.2.1; 4.2.2.2; };

However, 'rcnamed start' elicits:

linux:/etc # rcnamed start
Starting name server BIND /etc/named.d/forwarders.conf:7: 'forwarders'
redefined near 'forwarders'
skipped
linux:/etc #

What have I missed?

Thanks!
