New page

DNS are the servers that translate domain names to IP addresses.

== Setup - Ubuntu ==

It seems the default application for DNS is bind or bind9.

Install it:

sudo apt-get intstall bind9

Stop/Start/Restart

sudo services bind9 restart

== Setup your own naming ==

You need to create a zone file. This tells the DNS what to do.

1. Create the initialize of the zone file.

sudo vi named.conf.local

2. Add your own full qualified name to the file.

the zone is the name, file points to the config file for this name.

zone "example.com" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.example.com";
}

3. Create the config file.

Create the config file by using the empty scaffolding file bind gives you.

sudo cp db.empty db.example.com

4. Edit the new file

;
; BIND data file for local loopback interface
;
$TTL 604800
@ IN SOA example.com. root.example.com. (
5 ; Serial
604800 ; Refresh
86400 ; Retry
2419200 ; Expire
604800 ) ; Negative Cache TTL
;
IN A 192.168.1.1
@ IN NS localhost.
www IN CNAME example.com.
