I have a need to make my own DNS system on an isolated network.
Years ago,
I administered DNS for a couple of different companies, but that
was quite a
while ago and since I've turned to programming I haven't done much
in the
way of network administration. I recall from using BIND 4, when I was
reading up on it, that it is most certainly possible to configure
an entire
DNS system on a totally isolated network.
Of course; it's possible to do so with BIND-8, too. :-)
Would I need zone files for the root, ".", zone and any other zones I
configure; e.g. "isolation."?
Yep.
This would seem to be the way to go about it,
but I'm having some difficulty visualizing it in my head. I just
did some
searches online for the O'Reilly book "DNS & BIND". I recall using
this
book in the past and it was quite helpful (and unfortunately for me,
belonged to my former employers). Would this book be a good
reference for
this task as well, or are there better books that I might want to
look into
getting for this? Or, are there good on-line resources that could
help me
muddle through?
The O'Reilly DNS & BIND book is an excellent reference, and you
should certainly pick it up if you're going to be running your own
root NS, although it should also be true that you can use the online
references such as the BOG (BIND Operations Guide) to accomplish your
goal.
