Bind 9.3.0 Issues - Newbie :)

Hi everyone,

I am setting up a virtual network using three dell pcs running freebsd. My
goal in the setup is to map a few REAL domain names to a local ip address so
that I can direct traffic to a single web-server. This is being done for a
reserach project looking at the effects of real traffic patterns on web ser
vers. For example, my local network will see traffic directed to www.cnn.co
m and map it to a fixed ip on my network.

Unfortunately, the tests I am running on the setup are not working.

The relavent portion of named.conf looks like this:

zone "." {
type hint;
file "named.root";
};

zone "testhost.com" {
type master;
file "master/testhost.com.hosts";
};

and testhost.com.hosts looks like this:

$TTL 86400
testhost.com. IN SOA localhost. jsm078.localhost.(
1
3600
432000
86400)

www.testhost.com IN A 10.132.12.138
localhost. IN A 127.0.0.1

BUT when I try to named, I get the following error:

dns_rdata_fromtext: master/testhost.com.hosts:6: near eol: unexpected end of
input

zone testhost.com/IN: loading master file master/testhost.com.hosts: unexpec
ted end of input


Any ideas what might be going on? Thanks for any input!

All zone files must have at least one NS record.

The error message says you've got a problem with line 6. But I don't know what line 6 is. Please paste the exact contents of your zone file into your next reply and put CODE BB tags around the text to keep it readable.
