Hi,
I'm a bit new to this, but I'm trying to set up a DNS caching server
for my newly installed Fedora 4 box. I'm used to the windows world,
where it has a built-in DNS cache, so bear with me. According to the
instructions I've found on the net:
http://www.siliconvalleyccie.com/linux-hn/dns-static.htm
the only thing I have to do with Fedora 4 is edit the /etc/resolv.conf
to point to 127.0.0.1. I've done this, and it doesn't seem to work too
well. When I use dig, it sometimes uses 127.0.0.1, sometimes not. I
don't know the equivalent of "ipconfig /displaydns" in Linux to display
the dns cache, etc, and I don't know how to configure how long to keep
the DNS entries around. Any help would be appreciate - also, notes are
below on what I have done.
- installed the latest version of bind, bind-utils, and
caching-namesever with apt-get install
- changed named.conf to put 127.0.0.1 entry
- restarted named
