Until you fill out the Domain Registeration Form and get your self an offical domain name, the only type of server you can bring up is a Caching Only Server. Use the example named.boot file found in 4.3BSD Systems Managers Manual Chapter 11 section 5.5.1.3 "Caching Only Server" For a Caching Only Server your domain is ARPA The ARPA domain is the default domain name for when you have not applyed for a domain for your site. You need to apply for a domain name for your site. Maybe NADC.MIL -kevin Dunlap .
