.SH NAME

.SH SYNOPSIS
.B /usr/etc/in.named

.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX "named command" "" "\fLnamed\fP \(em internet domain name server daemon"
.IX servers named "" "\fLnamed\fP \(em internet domain name server daemon"
.B named
is the Internet domain name server.
It is used by resolver libraries to provide access
to the Internet distributed naming database.
The domain name server is described in the
.TX ADMIN .
See
.SM RFC
1034 and
.SM RFC
1035 for more details.
With no arguments
.B named
reads
.B /etc/named.boot
for any initial data, and listens for queries on a privileged port.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.BI \-d " level"
Print debugging information.
.I level
is a number indicating the level of messages printed.
.TP
.BI \-p " port"
Use
.I port
as the port number, rather than the standard port number.
.TP
.BI \-b " bootfile"
Use
.I bootfile
rather than
.BR /etc/named.boot .

.LP
The
.B primary
line states that the file
.B named.db
contains authoritative data for
.BR berkeley.edu .
The file
.B named.db
contains data in the master file format, described in
.SM RFC
1035, except
that all domain names are relative to the origin; in this
case,
.B berkeley.edu
(see below for a more detailed description).
.LP
The
.B secondary
line specifies that all authoritative data
under
.B cc.berkeley.edu
is to be transferred from the name server
at
.BR 10.2.0.78 .
If the transfer fails it will try
.BR 128.32.0.10 ,
and continue for up to 10 tries at that address.
The secondary copy is also authoritative for the domain.
.LP
The
.B cache
line specifies that data in
.B named.ca
is to be placed in
the cache (only used to find the root domain servers). The file
.B named.ca
is in the same format as
.BR named.db .
.LP
The master file consists of entries of the form:
.RS
.BI "$\s-1INCLUDE\s0 <" filename >
.br
.BI "$\s-1ORIGIN\s0 <" domain >
.br
.BI < domain >
.BI < opt_ttl >
.BI < opt_class >
.BI < type >
.BI < resource_record_data >
.br
.RE
where
.I domain
is
.RB ` . '
for the root,
.RB ` @ '
for the current origin, or a standard domain name. If
.I domain
is a standard domain name that does not end with
.RB ` . ',
the current origin
is appended to the domain. Domain names ending with
.RB ` . '
are unmodified.
.LP
The
.I opt_ttl
field is an optional integer number for the time-to-live field.
It defaults to zero.
.LP
The
.I opt_class
field is currently one token,
.RB ` \s-1IN\s0 '
for the Internet.
.LP
The
.I type
field is one of the following tokens; the data expected in the
.I resource_record_data
field is in parentheses.
.TP
.B A
A host address (dotted quad).
.TP
.SB NS
An authoritative name server (domain).
.TP
.SB MX
A mail exchanger (domain).
.TP
.SB CNAME
The canonical name for an alias (domain).
.TP
