Debain DNS Documentation Discrepancy, .ref or .db?
in [Setup]

From: Artist on 15 Mar 2010 01:35 I have a point of confusion in the document: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/network-administrator/ch-bind.html under "8.4.2.1 zone files." It appears there is discrepancy in a file name extension here. This section refers to the path and filename "/var/named/192.168.100.db" and gives an example of it. If I understand correctly an entry in the file "/etc/named.conf" is supposed to point to the file /var/named/192.168.100.db" so bind can find it. But this filename is not present in the given "/etc/named.conf" example. Instead there is the filename "192.168.100.rev". Is this a mistake? If so which filename extension is correct, rev or db? If not then how does bind find the file? -- If you desire to respond directly remove the "sj." from the domain name part of my email address. It is a spam jammer.

As long as they are consistent in name and matching named.conf entry. ..
