DNS server - BIND, Name Server etc..
DNS - Bind Creating a Zone Data File
You need to create a data file for a zone. Using your favorite editor, create a file in the primary master name server’s working directory. Name the file after the zone whose resource records it will contain. For example, for the foo.example zone, you might call the zone data file db.foo.example.
You need to create an alias from one domain name to another. Add a CNAME record to the zone that the alias belongs in.
DNS- domain name system is what runs the internet. Without DNS we cannot work on any of our favorite sites, we cannot work on our email id, our Facebook, and we cannot communicate online.
The system automatically generate the DNS-server configuration Bind
At work often has a lot to create a zone of DNS, add or modify them in writing. Manually is quite laborious and complex process: it must keep in mind the syntax and not make mistakes in the details.
As you know, DNS solution charts a properly accredited website (FQDN), such as www.webhostingskills.com, to an IP deal with. This is also known as a ahead search. The modify is also true: By doing a modify search, DNS can figuring out the properly accredited website associated with an IP deal with.
Configuring a DHCP Server to Update a BIND Name Server
You want to configure the ISC DHCP server to update a BIND name server. Within the dhcpd.conf file, add a ddns-domainname statement and a ddns-rev-domainname statement, if necessary.
Controlling Multiple named Processes with rndc
Control multiple named processes running on the same host with rndc. Since rndc only supports TCP-based communications with name servers, configure the name servers to listen on different addresses for control messages.
Restarting a Name Server Automatically If It Dies
You want a name server to restart automatically if it dies. Use the nanny.pl Perl script included in the BIND 9 distribution. After you’ve unpacked the BIND 9 distribution, you’ll find nanny.pl in contrib/nanny/nanny.pl.
Simple Load Balancing with BIND linux
You have redundant mail, FTP, or web servers, and you would like to configure them to automatically share the load during times of heavy traffic. Just give them all A records, using the same server alias for each IP address:
Configuring DNS to Let Clients Find the Closest Server
You want to set up DNS so that your clients (e.g., FTP NFS or NTP clients) can find the server closest to them. If you don’t have many servers, and it’s relatively easy to determine which server is closest to a client given that client’s address, use the sortlist options substatement.
