However, the default named.conf file in the caching-nameserver RPM (or the
default suggested named.conf in any tarball) could easily contain:
----snip----
// Please replace each 000.000.000.000 with the IP address of
// the DNS servers provided by your Internet Service Provider.
// Then remove the "// " from the beginning of each line below.
//
// acl dns-servers { 000.000.000.000; 000.000.000.000; };
//
// forward first;
// forwarders { dns-servers; };
----snip----
Or better yet:
----snip----
// Please replace each 000.000.000.000 with the IP address of
// the DNS servers provided by your Internet Service Provider.
// BIND will not start properly until you make this change.
acl dns-servers { 000.000.000.000; 000.000.000.000; };
forward first;
forwarders { dns-servers; };
----snip----
I don't see why that is so hard!
