Configure subdomain alias in bind9

Gianni Valenti · 01-12-2012, 06:13 AM

Hello,

I just installed a new home server with debian stabile and I have a question about bind9.

I would like to configure bind9 so that myname.dyndns.org is resolved to 192.168.1.1 while for *.dyndns.org a request to the right dns server is made.

Can anyone help me with this?

Also a keyword to start a google search with would be ok.

Thank you very much.

Bye,
Gianni

AFAIK this should not be problem.

Just create zone myname.dyndns.org and add a root A record pointing to 192.168.1.1.

Like this:

Code:

$TTL 86400

@       IN      SOA     ns.myname.dyndns.org.      myname.dyndns.org. (
                        2012011299	; serial number YYMMDDNN
                        28800           ; Refresh
                        7200            ; Retry
                        864000          ; Expire
                        86400           ; Min TTL
			)

                NS      ns.myname.dyndns.org. 

ns.myname.dyndns.org.				IN	A	192.168.1.1
myname.dyndns.org.           IN    A       192.168.1.1

I know, that stuff with ns.myname.dyndns.org. is kinda messy but it should work fine.
