4 DNS Configuration Files

Domains are grouped into zones that are configured through zone files. Zone files store information about domains in the DNS database. Each zone file contains directives and resource records. Optional directives apply settings to a zone or instruct a name server to perform certain tasks. Resource records specify zone parameters and define information about the systems or hosts in a zone.

Examples of BIND configuration files can be found in the /usr/share/doc/bind/sample/etc file.
