Hostname in domain
I have a domain domain.org. The DNS servers are somewhere out on the internet at foreign IPs 33.33.33.33 and 44.44.44.44. My webserver is on my local network at 192.168.1.100. I would like to have this webserver host its own domainname, "webserver", so that when I'm on 192.168.1.101 I can type
"rlogin webserver". Also: Is it possible to make "webserver" the primary DNS server for domain.org, and use 33.33.33.44 and 44.44.44.44 as secondary DNS servers ? |
You can edit your /etc/hosts file to include
Code:
webserver <ip of webserver> |
Yes, but if I have n clients, that could be time consuming. I'd like to do it on the server side if possible, so that if ask for "webserver" the webserver says "oh that's me, here's some data."

in your zonemaster file in your named.db directory you can add a dns entry
webserver IN A <ip address> Change the serial number in the file and save and quit the file. Then you restart named NOTE: Put 2 tabs between the "webserver" and "IN" one tab between the "IN" and "A" and one tab between the "A" and the ip address.... |
You would need to install and configure BIND in order to handle DNS resolution for your internal network.
Your internal DNS could point webserver.domain.org to 192.168.1.100 Meanwhile people on the internet using the public DNS servers you mentioned would get pointed to the webserver at it's public IP address.. |
