The Bind Install
Note: This Page was written with Fedora 8, 9, & 10 in mind, and may not have been tested on any other versions.
Installing Bind
yum -y install bind caching-nameserver
Configuring Bind
dnssec-keygen -a HMAC-MD5 -b 128 -n HOST dnskey
You need to now build the /etc/named.conf file. It should look something like this:
//
options {
listen-on port 53 { 192.168.1.1; };
directory "/etc/named";
dump-file "/etc/named/data/cache_dump.db";
statistics-file "/etc/named/data/named_stats.txt";
memstatistics-file "/etc/named/data/named_mem_stats.txt";
query-source port 53;
};
logging {
channel default_debug {
file "data/named.run";
severity dynamic;
};
};
key dnskey {
algorithm HMAC-MD5;
secret "asiomasdfeCEDDo1JTt8Q==";
};
zone "." {
type hint;
file "named.cache";
};
zone "mattrude.com" IN {
type master;
file "mattrude.com.zone";
allow-update { key dnskey; };
};
zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "192.168.1.zone";
allow-update { key dnskey; };
};
zone "familyframeworks.com" {
type master;
file "familyframeworks.com.zone";
};
After you build the /etc/named.conf file you need to make the zone files that will live in the directory /etc/named. You will need to create a file for each "zone" entry from the above file.
Here is the "Forward Looking" Zone file
mattrude.com.zone:
; zone file for mattrude.com
$TTL 6000 ; 172800 secs default TTL for zone
mattrude.com. IN SOA westley.mattrude.com. samantha.mattrude.com. (
1 ; serial number
5m ; refresh (5 minutes)
15 ; retry (15 seconds)
1w ; expire (1 week)
3h ; minimum (3 hours)
)
IN NS samantha.mattrude.com.
IN MX 10 samantha.mattrude.com.
samantha IN A 192.168.1.2
mythtv IN A 192.168.1.3
desktop IN A 192.168.1.9
wireless IN A 192.168.1.20
www IN CNAME mythtv.mattrude.com.
wiki IN CNAME mythtv.mattrude.com.
mail IN CNAME samantha.mattrude.com.
vpn IN CNAME samantha.mattrude.com.
And Here's the Backwards looking zone file. 192.168.1.zone:
; zone file for 192.168.1.0/24
$TTL 86400 ; 24 hours could have been written as 24h or 1d
$ORIGIN 1.168.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA.
@ 1D IN SOA westley.mattrude.com. postmaster.mattrude.com. (
1 ; serial
5m ; refresh (5 minutes)
15 ; retry (15 seconds)
1w ; expire (1 week)
3h ; minimum (3 hours)
)
; server host definitions
IN NS westley.mattrude.com.
IN NS samantha.mattrude.com.
IN MX 10 samantha.mattrude.com.
1 IN PTR westley.mattrude.com.
2 IN PTR samantha.mattrude.com.
3 IN PTR mythtv.mattrude.com.
