hi everyone.
here is what i am trying to do. i am trying to setup a dns server using
bind 8.2.2. i am trying to set up my lan as "domain.com" and have a
bind/named also be a caching name server.
here is my named.conf with some questions appended.
options {
directory "/var/named";
forwarders{
216.231.41.x;
216.231.41.y;
209.253.194.z;
};
# i read that this will lighten the load on named by forwarding requests to
another name server. will this affect the caching role of bind/named if i
leave forwarding on?
check-names master warn;
allow-transfer{
216.231.38.x;
216.231.38.y;
216.231.38.z;
216.231.38.w;
};
};
logging{
category lame-servers { null; } ;
category cname { null; };
category statistics { null; };
# even with category statistics { null; }; i get "cleaned cache of x
RRSets" in my log file. how can i disable this... and what exactly is a
rrset? do this message mean that the cache has been cleaned? the number is
always really low, like 4 or 5 or so. i assume this means not alot of
domains are being cached?
};
zone "." {
type hint;
file "db.cache";
};
zone "domain.com"{
type master;
file "domain.com";
};
zone "0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA"{
type master;
file "pri.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa";
};
also, i try to use this name server as my primary dns in windows nt. bind
is running under linux. but using my own nameserver actally took a longer
time to resolve names than as if i were to use my ISPs name server. how do
i remedy this (guess my server is not really caching huh)
one last question is, how do i prevent everyone access from using my bind
server as thei dns? meaning any joe/jane can open up their network config
and put in my name server ip for their primary/secondary DNS and my dns
server will resolve all named for them!
thank you all for your helping this newbie =)
