Ubuntu server 12.04/dns
From Attie's Wiki
apt-get install bind9 dnsutils
Control The Server
service bind9 restart
Check the config (it just fails with no error message if you get it wrong):
named-checkconf -z
Configure the Server
Make it run resolvconf on start:
sed -re 's/^(RESOLVCONF=).+$/\1yes/' -i /etc/default/bind9
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: /etc/bind/zones/attie.co.uk
