Installation af DNS

Instructions

Install DNS sserver software

sudo apt-get install bind9

configure DNS (Bind)

We need to touch 5 files.

We will edit 3 files.

1. /etc/bind/named.conf.local
2. /etc/bind/named.conf.options
3. /etc/resolv.conf

We will create 2 files.

1. /etc/bind/zones/mydomain.com.db
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";
}

Secund step: Add the DNS servers from your ISP

1. Sudo vi /etc/bind/named.conf.options

Forwarders {
 x.x.x.x
};

===Third step: Modify the resolv.conf file

$ Sudo vi /etc/resolve.conf

search dka.dk.
nameserver 10.0.0.1

Fourth step: Define zones

Sudo mkdir /etc/bind/zones Sudo vi /etc/bind/zones/dka.dk.db
