I installed DNS Bind 9 on our netreg box, following the onsite instructions.
However, I cannot get the DNS to work correctly. Has anyone else had
success with Bind 9? If so, any helpful hints? I tried to use an earlier
post(below), but no luck.
I had some problems getting Bind 9.1.1 working in Mandrake 8.0. I finally
got the config files to work but I had to make some changes and I would like
some input as to if this sounds correct:
I put named.conf from the NetReg into /etc The file looks like:
// named.conf for NetReg
// Belongs at /etc/named.conf
options {
directory "/var/named";
recursion no;
};
zone "." in {
type master;
file "db.root";
};
Notice that I have changed the directory from '/etc/' to '/var/named' and I
have removed the lind 'fetch-glue no;' A message in /var/log/messages was
reporting that this command is obsolete. Is it o.k. to remove this line?
db.root was put into /var/named and now looks like this:
; Bind 9.1.1 -- Zone file -- for NetReg
; Belongs at /var/named
$TTL 21600 ; Default TTL 6 hours
. IN SOA netreg.uconn.edu. root.netreg.uconn.edu. (
1 10800 3600 604800 86400 )
IN NS netreg.uconn.edu.
netreg 86400 IN A 137.99.16.10
*. 86400 IN A 137.99.16.10
