We need to touch 5 files.

We will edit 3 files.

We will create 2 files.

2. /etc/bind/zones/rev.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa

First step: add domain zone – mydomain.com

• sudo vi /etc/bind/named.conf.local

# Our domain zone
zone "mydomain.com" {
   type master;
   file "/etc/bind/zones/mydomain.com.db";
}
 
# For reverse DNS 
zone "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
   type master;
   file "/etc/bind/zones/rev.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa";
}
