; ; DNS boot file ; ; NOTE: It is NOT necessary to use a boot file to run the DNS server. ; ; The Microsoft DNS server is capable of reading configuration, zone ; and cache information from a "boot" file or from the registry. ; ; To take full advantage of the capabilities of the Microsoft DNS ; server we suggest using the DNS Administration tool (dnsadmin.exe). ; If you are new to DNS or are setting up a new installation, then we ; strongly recommend using the Admin tool, in which case you need not ; setup a boot file. ; ; However, if you are porting an existing BIND DNS installation, then ; the DNS server will be able to read your existing boot file. Note, ; that the file MUST be named "boot". ; ; ; Boot file syntax: ; ; Directives in this file instruct the DNS service when it is starting. ; Anything on a line followin a semicolon ';' is a comment, and is ignored. ; ; This file and all files listed in this file must be in ; %SystemRoot%\system32\dns directory. ; ; ; CACHE FILE ; ; The "cache" file is not really cache information. Rather it contains ; name server and IP address information necessary to contact the ROOT ; domain name servers. ; ; The syntax of this command is: ; ; cache . ; ; YOU SHOULD CHANGE: ; ; => Nothing - do NOT change this line, if you are NOT a root domain ; server. ; (Note: if you are not connected to the Internet, be sure and edit ; the cache file to point at the root servers for your intranet.) ; ; OR ; ; => Comment out this line, if this DNS server is the ROOT domain ; server for a private intranet. ; cache . cache.dns ; ; PRIMARY DOMAINS ; ; "Primary" domains are listed below. The second column is the name of the ; domain for which this name server is authoritative. The third column is ; the name if the database file which contains the authoritative data. ; ; The syntax of this command is: ; ; primary ; ; YOU SHOULD CHANGE: ; - The names of the domains. ; - The names of the database files. ; - Comment out domains for which server will be secondary. ; ;primary place.dom place.dns ;primary 29.5.192.in-addr.arpa 192.dns ; ; SECONDARY DOMAINS ; ; "Secondary" domains are listed below. ; ; The syntax of this command is: ; ; secondary ; ; YOU SHOULD CHANGE: ; - The names of the domains. ; - The names of the database files. ; - The IP address of the primary DNS server (192.255.255.7). ; - Uncomment domains for which server will be secondary, then ; comment out the primary statement for that domain above. ; ;secondary place.dom 192.5.29.7 place.dns ;secondary 29.5.192.in-addr.arpa 192.5.29.7 192.dns
