Then again on my systems I call them db.domain and db.address, and I have them
in "/usr/local/adm/named", there are no set in stone rules reguarding the
naming of these files.
What you need to do is look in the named.boot file, which on my system is in
/etc.
--------------------------------begin named.boot-----------------------
directory /usr/local/adm/named
;
primary domain.com db.domain
primary 333.222.111.IN-ADDR.ARPA db.111.222.333
primary 0,0,127.IN-ADDR.ARPA db.127.0.0
;
cache . db.cache
--------------------------------end named.boot---------------------------
In the above example the files you are looking for are
/usr/local/adm/named/db.domain
/usr/local/adm/named/db.111.222.333
Hope this helps,
