Hi

I am a real newbie in DNS. I have a domain name and I would like to run my own DNS server (got 4 fixed IPs) using BIND DNS.
I don't know where to start!
Can someone help me?

Thanks

Actually i never tried to configuring DNS via webmin but if you want, i can give you my configuration file in terminal.

How about that?

Hi Joseph,

It would be great also!

Thanks!

Hi macadam,

Here it is:


/etc/named.conf :

options {
directory "/var/named";
pid-file "/var/run/named/named.pid";
auth-nxdomain yes;
};
zone "." {
type hint;
file "named.ca";
};
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "named.local";
};
zone "mydomain.com" {
type master;
file "mydomain.com.zone";
};
zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa ";
};



/var/named/named.local :
$TTL 3D
@ IN SOA ns.mydomain.com. postmaster.mydomain.com. (
1 ; Serial
8H ; Refresh
2H ; Retry
4W ; Expire

1 PTR localhost.

For named.ca file, you will get that file when you installed the bind package.
Do some changes for your needs. If you met any problem, do let me know, I will try to help you although I am not an expert.

Thanks a lot...
I will try to do that asap
