 Posted: Tue Jun 28, 2005 8:02 pm Post subject: DNS machine providing all services. |
 |
|
hi guys,
This may seem like a totally stupid question but any answers will be of great help. I want to try setup my machine as a DNS server "for itself". To clarify more, I have one machine sitting behind a router and I want it to act as a DNS server as well as provide all the services (www, ftp, mail,subdomains...).
I want to learn about DNS with my single machine. I know there are a couple of tutorials online, but i have been unable to find one that addresses this.
I just need a few hints, or if some body has done it and they now of a useful resource, let me in.
Thanx

Berstein seems to be a little bit too self absorb by its own farts. I find is way of dealing with the Bind guys to be really childish and I think redefining standards in order to implement security is cheap and lazy. All that said, this admin admit that setting qmail in 2002 and never since had to patch it for security reasons is really really appreciated.
So, I'm trying to replace dnsmasq with djbdns, but I'm having a hard time to make it go. I made the mistake at first to try to set dnscache and tinydns on the same machine. Now I'm trying to fudge it by manipulating the settings in the files, but I'm not quite digging how one should set both programs on the same box.
So, I have set dnscache to bind to 127.0.0.1 and to respond to requests coming from 127.0.0.1, 192.168.1 and 192.168.2. I have set dnscache upstream servers to be 127.0.0.2, the two dns my ISP is provinding me with, and two other that serves non-ICANN TLDs.
I have set tinydns to bind to 127.0.0.2 and all my local lan names are set in it. The clients on the lan are set with 192.168.1.11 in /etc/resolv.conf (where djbdns lives). This dns server does not resolv names on the public side, only local lan side.
So, from the clients, I can resolv names from both public and private zones, and on 192.168.1.11 I can also resolv public domains, but I can't resolv private dns. Its /etc/resolv.conf has 127.0.0.1 in it. I tried putting 192.168.1.11 but it seem to resolv in infinit loop as it takes for ever to resolv a name (which fails) and even doing a simple ls will now take forever, so I reverted back to 127.0.0.1.
Hints are requested.
updates:
Ok, I've put back 192.168.1.11 in resolv.conf and it seem to work, but it's awfully slow... | Quote: | # ping fiston
