DNS, authority zone


I have a question regarding Redhat 9.0 linux BIND (DNS Server).

I've bind installed on my linux system. i know that if i want to be an authority server for a zone (Ex: mydomain.com), then i have to create one separate
zone file (mydomain.com zone) for the domain.

but what if i want to be an authority server for another domain (subdomain.mydomain.com) which is a sub domain of the previous domain?
what should i do? do i need to create another zone file called subdomain.mydomain.com for this subdomain?

or can i create only one zone to make this 2 domain work?


Thanks,

No, u do not need to create *another* zone file for this. In your named.conf, you will have something like:

zone "mydomain.net" {
type master;
notify yes;
file "/etc/bind/db.mydomain";
};

That's all you need (for that part) for your named.conf if you own 1 domain. Now, you want to make a subdomain like "crap.mydomain.net". Then in your db.mydomain (or however you named it) you add the appropriate info in there (A records, blah blah). The SOA is still going to be the same.

There are many examples on how to do this on the net. Google it. Once you have an idea, paste what you have and I'll correct it if it needs to be fixed.
