I wrote previously (as noted below), and recieved suggestions from Sean
Quaint and Carl Brewer. Sean noted that the "domain" entry I placed in
named.boot was unneeded, and Carl noted that a "domain" entry should be in
resolv.conf (which it was, as I wrote). I no longer have my unknown
directive error, thanks to this advice, but my primary problem (only
non-authoritative responses for FQDN's on what should be the authoritative
server, and the "no NS RRs....etc" error when in.named starts. I got
almost all of my DNS setup tutorial from a ZDJournals article, but can
still find no other substantial source of information.
Still looking for help, if any is to be found.
