Advanced DNS Features - BIND 9 Administrator Reference Manual (BIND 9.3.1) Howto: Setup a DNS server with bind. BIND9ServerHowto. Note: There are some issues with this Howto, too numerable to fix quickly, and it requires bringing up to standard.
I'm mentioning this to help anyone to avoid the unnecessary time trying to resolve their DNS, owing the the inconsistencies in this document, particularly if you're new to DNS configuration. One example is here... box IN A 192.168.1.10 ... in all other places, the document uses the machine name example ns. Here it changes to box (I believe the author was simply trying to show that additional computers would be listed, but failed to use a different address for box. Domain Name Service (DNS) is an Internet service that maps IP addresses and fully qualified domain names (FQDN) to one another. Two-in-one DNS server with BIND9. Two-in-one DNS server with BIND9 Posted by pupeno on Mon 20 Feb 2006 at 07:33 This tutorial shows you how to configure BIND9 DNS server to serve an internal network and a external network at the same time with different set of information.
To accomplish that goal, a new feature of BIND9 called view is used. As a tutorial it'll walk you through the whole set up, but initial knowledge of BIND and DNS is required, there are plenty of documents that cover that information on the Internet.

Contents 1 The problem It is a typical problem in organizations that are growing that they have to resolve two problems at once: To have a DNS server for the internal network of the company because long ago there were already too many computers to remember their IPs1 and even too many computers to maintain a set of host files2. Two solve this problems at once become a bigger problem when the growing organization can't supply more resources than one DNS server3. Just stuff: DNS forwarding to DHCP nameservers.
This post is based on I use NetworkManager on my Ubuntu (11.10) laptop to join various DHCP networks.
I also have a BIND DNS nameserver for resolving several private DNS zones used by virtual machines on my laptop and my work's development network. The problem was: how do I make the BIND server forward requests for domains it doesn't know about to the nameservers assigned via DHCP? NetworkManager doesn't execute the "standard" dhclient hooks when connecting to a network, and the workarounds I found online for this were cumbersome. The answer was to put the following script in the file /etc/network/if-up.d/update-bind-forwarders (NB this script is based on one in the blog post linked at the top of this post): #! The next step is to make modify /etc/bind/named.conf.options and replace the "forwarders" declaration with:
Configuring DNS. DNS HOWTO : A simple domain. NextPreviousContents 5.
A simple domain. How to set up your own domain. 5.1 But first some dry theory First of all: you read all the stuff before here right? Before we really start this section I'm going to serve you some theory on and an example of how DNS works. DNS is a hierarchical, tree structured system. When looking for a machine the query proceeds recursively into the hierarchy starting at the root.
Root and DLV Trust Anchors (bind.keys) Where can I find the most current copy?
The most current copies of the bind.keys file can be found on our ftp site: How is the bind.keys file used? When named starts, it needs certain information before it can respond to recursive queries, such as how to reach the root servers. If named is configured to do DNSSEC validation, it also needs to have starting trust anchors. While all of this information is configurable via the named.conf file, ISC has tried to make the configuration files simpler by compiling in this information so that it doesn’t have to be set in the named.conf file.

Maintaining Consistency of DNS Records (Especially for Multi-Homed Hosts) Maintaining Consistency of DNS Records (Especially for Multi-Homed Hosts) 1 Overview 1.1 Introduction It is important for DNS records to exhibit certain types of consistency.
In simple cases, where a host has only one name and only one address, the consistency requirements are obvious ... but in the general case, where a host can have multiple names and/or multiple addresses, the consistency requirements require more thoughtful and sophisticated handling. Question #1: Suppose we have a host with multiple network interfaces.
Multi-homing is quite common, for a number of good reasons including: A gateway or router will have multiple interfaces. 1.2 Some Motivation It is worth setting up the DNS intelligently, because more and more email recipients are doing a reverse lookup on the source IP address followed by a forward lookup on the resulting name, and checking for consistency.
