Hi.

I am going to change server OS on my server, but i need DNS server setup. I have read some pages with info but didn't get any wiser yet. that i wonder how easy is it to add sub domain in the DNS settings? If anyone could be kind and try to help me. My network server has an 192.168.0.10 internal number and will be hosting around 6 different websites and sub domains. So i need to find out easiest way to do it under linux. I guess this has been asked a lot but didn't find any post of my liking that described the way to go.

Best regards Dax

I too would like to switch to debian but I am not sure what debian uses for dhcp and dns. Don't know about all the processes involved either. Will be watching to see what happens here.

There are several different packages for dhcp and dns, but I think most people use the regular dhcp package and bind for dns. A while back, I tried to install bind on FreeBSD, but I could only get it to work with static IP addresses. I ran dhcp through a hardware router and could not update the DNS entries. I might give it another try, but not now. Since you are going to use dhcp and dns, you might have better luck. There is a package called dhcp-dns (or a similar one called autodns-dhcp) that updates your zone files in bind from your dhcp leases file. So you might want to try that out.
