There is a chapter in the handbook devoted to it. Generally, if you've already got it working <?> it should just be a matter of adding the new host's name to the zone file on the nameserver, incrementing the serial number in the zone file, and restarting the name daemon. Something like<as root>: $cd /etc/namedb $ed my.domain.hosts <increment the serial number> <add an A record for your new host> my.old.host. IN A 192.168.0.100 my.new.host. IN A 192.168.0.101 <restart the name daemon> $ndc restart make sure your LAN hosts are using *your* DNS server to do their lookups. <test your DNS server's response--- in the example, I'm shelled into the nameserver> $nslookup - your.dns.server Default Server: localhost.my.domain Address: 127.0.0.1 >my.new.host Server: localhost.my.domain Address: 127.0.0.1 Name: my.new.host Address: 192.168.0.101 That should about take care of it, unless I'm not understanding the questions, which is quite possible, even likely....
