This is how the file /etc/named.caching-nameserver.conf looks like:

Code:

//

// named.caching-nameserver.conf

//

// Provided by Red Hat caching-nameserver package to configure the

// ISC BIND named(8) DNS server as a caching only nameserver

// (as a localhost DNS resolver only).

//

// See /usr/share/doc/bind*/sample/ for example named configuration files.

//

// DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - use system-config-bind or an editor

// to create named.conf - edits to this file will be lost on

// caching-nameserver package upgrade.
