I've had trouble getting bind to work reliably on a local network. I now
need to setup a DNS server on the net but I don't want to send out bad
DNS info. Here's what I've got.
1. CentOS 4.1
2. Bind 9 something ( don't know how to tell what version I have )
3. Cable modem connection ( no revers mapping )
Here's what I know
1. Need . file with root servers
2. Need 127.0.0
3. Need SOA
4. Forward lookup file
5. Revers lookup file
6. CentOS/Fedora/Redhat have a DNS config tool. Webmin also has a
config tool which I have used.
Problems
1. I'm not sure what goes into the 127.0.0. section
2. Not sure if the DNS config tools are any good ( the Webmin tool
has worked for me )
Here's some of what I see on a default install.
1. 127.0.0 points to localhost.localdomain ( should I leave it this
way? )
2. There are several master domains ( I normally delete these and
setup my own master domain )
1. 0:0:0 something
2. 255.255.255 something
3. localhost.localdomain ( i think )
I don't want to populate the Internet with bad DNS. Any help is
appreciated.
