4.10. What's Next?

In this chapter, we showed you how to create nameserver zone datafiles by translating /etc/hosts to equivalent nameserver data, and how to set up a primary and a slave nameserver. 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 nameservers. You may also need to start up more nameservers. These topics are covered in the next few chapters.
