greetings,
after a little research ( archive rtfm).
I basically have 2 domains with one DNS server, and i want them to
resolve for the same address space.
" can this be done ? "
correct me if I'm wrong:
first i edit my named.boot file
;type domain source file or host
;----------------------------------------------------------------------------
directory /etc/namedb
;
cache . root.cache
;
primary beth.k12.pa.us domain.db
primary bethsd.org newdomain.db
Second i edit my named.conf to add the new zone.
zone "bethsd.org" {
type master;
file "newdomain.db";
};
Third I create a new SOA record for bethsd.org
@ IN SOA ns.bethsd.org jdonovan.bethsd.org (
2002062801 ; Serial number
10800 ; Refresh every 3hours
3600 ; Retry every hour
604800 ; Expire every 7 days
86400 ) ; Minimum 2 days
;
;Name Servers
;
IN NS ns.bethsd.org
IN NS dns.beth.k12.pa.us
;
IN MX 5 ns.bethsd.org
IN A 209.96.96.2
;
localhost IN A 127.0.0.1
fourth i need to place multiple PTR records for my address space:
@ IN SOA dns.beth.k12.pa.us. hostmaster.beth.k12.pa.us. (
2002021901
10800
3600
604800
86400 )
;
IN NS dns.beth.k12.pa.us.
IN NS ns.bethsd.org
;
;
1.10.0.200.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR host1.beth.k12.pa.us.
IN PTR host1.bethsd.org.
did i miss anything? is this the correct setup?
normally i would try and experiment however I can't afford the
downtime right now.
i am open for suggestions.
