named.conf
// generated by named-bootconf.pl


// secret must be the same as in /etc/rndc.conf
key "key" {
        algorithm       hmac-md5;
        secret
"c3Ryb25nIGVub3VnaCBmb3IgYSBtYW4gYnV0IG1hZGUgZm9yIGEgd29tYW4K";
};

controls {
    inet 127.0.0.1 allow { any; } keys { "key"; };
};

options {
        directory "/var/named";
        /*
         * If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
         * to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source
         * directive below.  Previous versions of BIND always asked
         * questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 uses an unprivileged
         * port by default.

        // query-source address * port 53;
};

//
