Post by Daren Whitak » Tue, 07 Jan 1997 04:00:00



I am looking for some very simple instructions for setting up a dns server
on a sparc under solaris 2.5.

I've been a system admisitrator for 4 years and have plenty of unix
experiance.  I've been pulling my hair out trying to set up a dns server
now for a few weeks.

Please send help!

I don't remember the exact URL, but you will be able to find the links
from "http://www.dns.net/dnsrd" ... Somewhere there is a link to a page,
by Tom Yager at unixworld.com, that's really easy/simple to understand
instructions on how to set up a DNS server.

        Best answer....go out and buy the book "DNS and BIND" published
by O'Reilly & Associates.

You may find the series of pages found at

     Information for Technical Contacts and Network Liaisons
URL: http://www.uwo.ca/its/network/backbone/

They're somewhat localized for support issues here at uwo. But there are
some good pages on configuring a DNS server, understanding the service, etc.

1. HELP with simple DNS setup Linux Fedora

(apologies if this is a double post - first one didnt seem to go
through)

Ok, so im no expert, but i've been doing basic linux stuff for 8 years,
simple console etc, that has kept sendmail/apache and named going for
our company for that time..

moving up in the world now, got a new location Dedicated pipe and a new
server...

Have installed Fedora C4 and it seems ok, network is fine.

I have a netgear router/modem taking the static IP from the ISP, and
then behind that i have an allocation of IP's from my ISP which are
being used as Gateway, broadcast and 5 IP's for machines.

The linux box is working great, routing ok, dns resolution ok from ISP.

But we need a name server for the many domains we control, so thus my
setup of named.

So it all SEEMS ok...


number of zones: 4
debug level: 0
xfers running: 0
xfers deferred: 0
soa queries in progress: 0
query logging is OFF
recursive clients: 0/1000
tcp clients: 0/100
server is up and running

(bentley is the name of the NEW server)

however, from another network (our old one)

*** Can't find server name for address IP.IP.IP.IP: No response from
server
*** Default servers are not available

(seat is the old server, test domain is sub for a real one, as is
ourdomain, and IP)


Server:         bentley.ourdomain.com.au
Address:        IP.IP.IP.IP#53

Name:   testdomain.com
Address: IP.IP.IP.IP

Thats the output from the new server - seems ok..

So simple question, could it be a reverse DNS issue? Should i contact
the ISP for setup of reverse on that IP (and all the IP's on this
network) - will that fix it?????

Any help appreciated..
