Escaping from MILNET to the rest of the world. Help...

	Step one in setting up your own domain on the DARPA
	Internet is contact hostmaster at sri-nic.arpa and request
	the "Domain Registration Form"
	
	The named.boot file you posted will not work because
	you are attemting to be primary for two domains you are
	not authoritive for:

 >>primary	NADC.ARPA		/etc/nadchosts
 >>primary	0.0.26.in-addr.arpa	/etc/nadchosts.rev

	You can not run a primary name server for these domains,
	because the root name servers are primary for them.

	Until you fill out the Domain Registeration Form
	and get your self an offical domain name, the only type 
	of server you can bring up is a Caching Only Server.

	Use the example named.boot file found in 4.3BSD
	Systems Managers Manual Chapter 11 section
	5.5.1.3 "Caching Only Server"

	For a Caching Only Server your domain is ARPA

	The ARPA domain is the default domain name for when you
	have not applyed for a domain for your site.  You need to
	apply for a domain name for your site. Maybe NADC.MIL
