The BIND Configuration File
The BIND configuration file, named.conf, enables you to specify many features by
using statements and comments. Each statement in the configuration file ends with a
semicolon. Many statements contain a block of sub-statements, which also end with a
semicolon. You can give comments using the C syntax (with /* and */), the C++ syntax
(where // starts the comment), and the shell syntax (where # starts the comment).
The /etc/named.conf Statements
The following statements are supported in the named.conf file:
•
The acl statement
•
The include statement
•
The key statement
•
The logging statement
