Ubuntu server 12.04/dns
From Attie's Wiki
apt-get install bind9 dnsutils
Control The Server
Service control:
service bind9 restart
Check the config (it just fails with no error message if you get it wrong):
named-checkconf -zConfigure the Server
Config files are in /etc/bind.
I have added the following line to /etc/bind/named.conf:
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.zones";
/etc/bind/named.conf.zones contains one line per zone:
zone "attie.co.uk" in { type master; notify yes; file "/etc/bind/zones/attie.co.uk"; };Zone configs are stored in /etc/bind/zones/. E.g:
;
; BIND data file for local loopback interface
