DNS caching server entry
 

Hi,

I am using a DNS caching server on my LAN which points towards the Master DNS servers of the world.

Now I want to set up an internal website on my local LAN.

What entries should I make on my DNS caching server so that it starts redirecting all requests for

http://internal.company.com

to the IP address 192.168.0.8

I am not sure if this can be achieved on a caching DNS server or not?

Thanks

You need to make the zone statement in your named.conf for "company.com", and then create a zone file with the records you want.

Here is a detailed guide,

so its the same way I will do to create a zone entry for any other global Domain name?

do i need to do any thing to prevent this name entry from propagating to the real world name servers and poisoning their entries?

You don't need to worry about internal domain names propagating outside, unless you specifically tell the root servers to point xyz.com to your local DNS servers.
