Can I create a local DNS?

kuso · 09-17-2003, 07:07 PM

Hi,

I am behind a router with a redhat linux box and a few other windows boxes.

My redhat box is running a DNS server and I would like to set up a
localdns (whatever.com to point at 192.168.0.3)

Is this possible? So that I can hit my server from my windows box in
internet explorer by going to whatever.com?

Thanks,

billy

yes,of course .
the dns server in RH server can work well by default,you also can
configure it and creat a domian

You have to add a 'Zone' section for you domain 'Whatever.com' in /etc/named.conf file. And create a zone data file for this zone.
