Configuring and Managing BIND
5.4 Populating the BIND Server Databases
To create a ROOT.HINT file:
1. Run TCPIP$CONFIG.
2. Select the Server Components menu.
3. Select the BIND server.
This procedure creates the ROOT.HINT file and places the file in the
SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$BIND] directory.
5.4.4.3 Forward Translation File
The forward translation file, domain_name.DB, stores host-name-to-address
mapping. For example, for the domain ROBIN.BIRD.COM, the following
database file is created: ROBIN_BIRD_COM.DB. The following example shows a
domain_name.DB file:
$ORIGIN ucx.ern.sea.com.
@ IN SOA owl.ucx.ern.sea.com. pmaster.owl.ern.sea.com.
