Thanks thats a good point, I am running suse 10.1 and I retried some information from this site:
http://en.opensuse.org/Suse_DNS_10.0_server
My network is that I am on has two routers and one auto sense switch (linksys) the ports are forwarded 53, I have a "always on " connection cable modem.
I have had a webserver running great off the linux box and also a mail server (axigen) the mail server is no longer running on there as the trial ran out.
I want this machine to be an authoritive nameserver, I realize I need two IPs but I thought there would be a problem running dns because of the subnet on the side of our management server (cable plant) the class C is 207.34.157/24 and the other subnet is 207.34.153/28
i have most if not all the networking modules installed as I have a network that lets me connect using samba.
I am not to sure if BIND is running or is this yet another module that needs to be installed and configured? i though if dns is running that BIND is also running?
this is where it gets confusing......
Our subscribers side gets handed out dhcp for each cable modem on the /24 subnet, hence I am using that, I also am subscribed to no-ip.com to force the A and MX records etc to point to my IP ihave my domain hosted at Network solutions.
here is part of the named.conf file that is unmodified, it was suggested that I use:
match-clients { any; }
allow-recursion [ 207...etc etc}; when i added that is screwed up the dns and it wouldnt start but below is the unmodified conf file that works, I am thinking i need to add zones and IP somewhere but i really don`t know....
zone "." in {
type hint;
file "root.hint";
};
zone "localhost" in {
type master;
file "localhost.zone";
};
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" in {
type master;
file "127.0.0.zone";
};
