adding a purchased domain to your network?
Hey guys, this might be a really dumb, or a really good question.
I have a question about domain names and networks lets take a school for example. I dont know, lets say FIU. obviously, they purchased a business domain so when you go to fiu.edu, its a webserver. you go to cs.fiu.edu its another web server so how does it get multiple host names pointed to the fiu.edu name lets say they have 20 servers. some windows some linux. so outside of their network, you can rdesktop or ssh to certain machines. (if you are on their AD server and know the credentials) adserver.fiu.edu apple.fiu.edu pear.fiu.edu orange.fiu.edu my question is, if i purchase a domain, lets say www.chaps.pw how do I point all of my hosts to chaps.pw so example, I can ssh or rdesktop into (btw I have a /30 network) so all ips are public. ( i also know security is a big issue but its just for knowledge purposes ) venus.chaps.pw skyline.chaps.pw pluto.chaps.pw etc... if you take a look at fiu, im sure they dont have a records on the hosted site pointed to every host. So i will need a DNS server, DHCP server what other steps? |

In "Classic" BIND this would look like: Code:
venus.chaps.pw. IN A 123.123.111.240 Code:
venus IN A 123.123.111.240 |

awesome!! i am actually reading about DNS so before I begin, I will need to install BIND correct? And will be located in the /etc/bind/named.conf? that is where I store the A records |

Have to admit I stopped running my own DNS servers a few years back and now make use of commercial offerings for work and for my personal projects. |
