Bind9 on Woody - "Bad dotted quad"

[John M. Purser]

I've installed the bind9 package and tried to configure it to work with my
little internal network. When I start it up I get an error message telling
me "bad dotted quad" saying it's from the zone configuration file for my
network which uses the 192.168.0 network numbers. When I replace this with
a public number it passes that line and goes on to the next machine with a
192.168.1.0 number. It appears that bind is refusing to accept a
non-routable number from the zone file. Am I reading this right? What is
the workaround. I can't be the only person using these number internally!

Thanks,

John Purser

You have checked you have full-stops (periods) on the end when you
should have and not when you shouldn't? Just a thought.
