4.10 What Next?

In this chapter, we showed you how to create name server zone data files by translating /etc/hosts to equivalent name server data, and also how to set up a primary master and a slave name server. There is more work to do to complete setting up your local zones, however: you need to modify your zone data for email and configure the other hosts in your zone to use your name servers. You may also need to start up more name servers. These topics are covered in the next few chapters.
