Q: multiple domain w/ named?

Post by John Masinte » Sun, 09 Jun 1996 04:00:00



Hi All!

I have sendmail and named working fine for one domain.
We just got a second domain name for a friend, with the
intention of this same server providing DNS for both.

I tried a second SOA record in the named.hosts file,
but that didn't work.

Any ideas on how to setup named for multiple domains?  

TIA!

You don't have to use multiple SOA records to set up more than one
domain.  You should have a different file for the new origin (don't
have to, just makes it easier).  

Many smaller sites don't even keep their own authoritative server for
their domain, so using your SOA record shouldn't be a problem.  Also,
the authoritative server need not be a part of the domain it is
authoritative for.

1. Can I configure multiple domain names to dhcpd.conf "option domain-name"?

I want to add another domain name to the search order but whn I tried
either the service doesn't start properly or from Windows the DNS
Suffix search order isn't displayed and or set properly. Example
scenario.

I first set the dhcpd.conf settings for the multiple names.
...
option domain-name "linux.net linux.org";
...

Then from Windows PC I run ipconfig /all
...
DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : linux.net linux.org
...

Then I run a ping command
C:\> ping www
Ping request could not find host www. Please check the name and try
again.

As you can it didn't work. However, if the option is set to
"linux.net" only, then the ping of www works. BTW, www is mapped to
the IP address of the DNS server from within the /var/named zone file.
When I ping the FQDN of www.linux.net everything works.

C:\>ping www.linux.net
