Yellowdog and running a BIND/DNS Server

[Geert Janssens]

Hi,

I had bind running on my old beige G3/233 before it died a couple of months 
ago.

If I remember well, it was not very hard to setup.

If followed a nice howto I found on The Linux Documentation Project 
(http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/DNS-HOWTO-3.html).

It worked like a charm.

Cheers,

Geert Jan
