Help on: Add special BIND 'options' to /etc/named.conf It is not generally necessary to add anything in this window. DNS Boss should create everything that is need for most cases. However, if you want to configure some of the more sophisticated "options" of DNS BIND, the window that comes up when you select: "Add special BIND 'options' to /etc/named.conf" is where you do it. For example if there was a need to to change the dump-file, statistics-file, or pid-file defaults, they could be changed by uncommenting the following lines: dump-file "/var/opt/DNSBoss/statistics/named_dump.db"; statistics-file "/var/opt/DNSBoss/statistics/named.stats"; pid-file "/var/opt/DNSBoss/statistics/server1.pid"; If you are not certain about what you are adding in the 'options' section, then it is suggested to not add anything. Your DNS should work fine without adding any of these sophisticated "options".
