Hi Everyone,
  I need help setting up BIND/Hesiod on our network which is not
a part of Internet. I am led to believe that the setup process/files
are quite different for non-Internet setup. The version of BIND that
I have is 4.8.3 and am trying to run it on Suns OS4.1.1. For the 
setup that I wish to have I am able to setup a primary server (as
far as I can tell) but the secondary server has been giving me 
problems. It is unable to get the database from the primary and it 
complains about SOA record. At the end of this text are the 
setup files followed by the error messages that are seen on the
console of the secondary server.
  I'd appreciate any help, suggestions, ideas with regard to how
I can get it to work.
  Thanx a lot.
