I'm running Scientific Linux SL release 5.5 (Boron) and I'm trying to setup bind to run local domains for web development testing like mydomain.local.
I'm under the impression that I can do this with caching-nameserver but I'm a noob when it comes to this.
here is my /var/named/chroot/etc/named.caching-nameserver.conf
Code:
#
# Example config created by SilentRage @ www.dollardns.net
#
# Requires:
# http://www.dollardns.net/bind/named.ca
# http://www.dollardns.net/bind/basiczone.com.zone
# http://www.dollardns.net/bind/127.0.0.rev

my mydomain.local.zone file is:
Code:
$TTL 900 ; 900 seconds default record (T)ime (T)o (L)ive in cache
@ SOA ns1 ( ; ns1.mydomain.local is the primary server for mydomain.local
postmaster ; contact email for mydomain.local is postmaster@mydomain.local
2004041700 ; Serial ID in reverse date format
21600 ; Refresh interval for slave servers
1800 ; Retry interval for slave servers
604800 ; Expire limit for cached info on slave servers
900 ) ; Minimum Cache TTL in zone records
@ NS ns1 ; ns1.mydomain.local is a host for mydomain.local
@ NS ns2 ; ns2.mydomain.local is a host for mydomain.local
@ A 127.0.0.4 ; mydomain.local's IP address is 127.0.0.4
@ MX 10 mail ; Mail for *@mydomain.local is sent to mail.mydomain.local
ns1 A 127.0.0.1 ; ns1.mydomain.local's IP address is 127.0.0.1
ns2 A 127.0.0.2 ; ns2.mydomain.local's IP address is 127.0.0.2
mail A 127.0.0.3 ; mail.mydomain.local's IP address is 127.0.0.3
www A 127.0.0.4 ; www.mydomain.local's IP address is 127.0.0.4
I don't even know where to begin for the 127.0.0.rev file, and I'm pretty sure my mydomain.local.zone file is pretty much wrong. All that I can find online are tutorials for DNS on the Internet, I've read through the DNS and Bind O'Reilly book, and I'm now more confused than when I began...
I don't need mail service on this domain, but I'm not sure which part of the records I can just remove without adversely affecting the setup.
named-checkconf named.caching-nameserver.conf Doesn't return any errors.
I could use some help if anyone has the time, thanks.
