Sun solaris and linux DNS
 

I want to change my sun solaris dns server to linux DNS server. I would like to discuss about stability,performance.


Please put forward your suggestions and opinions.

Its perfectly do-able; what do you want to know?
See the relevant bits here http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red...loyment_Guide/ esp chap 17 for an example.

There's no difference at all really between the two. Just bundle on up and copy on over your named.conf, any include files, and your db files, and everything will run the same as it was provided you're using the same version of BIND (or whatever DNS server you're using).

The only thing you may need to change is the location of your files in named.conf

Stability-wise, though... Well, it's all UNIX. I mean, it's not like you're running BIND on a wyndoze box ;)

Thanks for your replay,

my question is not on technical side, we are running bind on solaris server from so many years,we would like to move to linux server, because Sun box AMC is bit higher then Intel box, will intel box can with stand more then 2000 client query ?

DNS is pretty lightweight stuff, so it doesn't really matter. For instance, you could run BIND on an old Pentium Pro 100 and not break a sweat.

Also, if you're concerned about hardware costs, you can run Solaris on x86 hardware too.

My recommendation for a Linux Distro that is complete, lightweight, easy to learn/administer, and extremely stable is Slackware Linux. I would definately pick Slackware for a server over that of any Redhat or other RPM based distro like CentOS or Fedora.

You can get Slackware here: http://iso.linuxquestions.org/slackw...re-linux-13.0/
