[solved]DNS Server Implementation: DJBDNS

[janskey]

Hi Guys..

I need advice on implementing our DNS server. Currently this is our setup:
* NS1 and NS2 Servers are hosted in www.ultradns.com
* we need to put caching server in our local network

Question:
* do i need to put the caching server to public or private ip's?
* can i make the caching server also as a DNS Server for local network?

thanks a lot!

hi zen_guerrilla

what i mean by "* can i make the caching server also as a DNS Server for local network?" is can i make a DNS caching server at the same time a DNS Server [localns1.company.com] for my windows and linux desktop users. so that they can use names for connecting other users.

ex.
if a windows users can use \\computer to another windows computer..

thanks

Ummm, sorry, missed your point. Check the url's on my previous post for instructions on how to do that
w/ djbdns.
If you've never configured djbdns or bind before I'd suggest to check dnsmasq (it's in portage) out.
It does exactly what you want and is very easy to install and setup.
