The host file (/etc/hosts I assume) won't help. You can use /etc/resolv.conf and have nameserver line point to your localhost for testing. Or use dig with the @ argument to set the address of the nameserver to use. For example, "dig @127.0.0.1 www.example.com". Then also try that from outside systems to using the @ with the network interface's address. ___ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users

And note that the name server will not be publicly used until it is published through the whole DNS chain. That means there is no reason you could not put everything in place even public facing servers - nobody will use them until referenced properly. > ___ > Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe > from this list > > bind-users mailing list > bind-users@lists.isc.org > https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users > -- Best regards Sten Carlsen No improvements come from shouting: "MALE BOVINE MANURE!!!" ___ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
Re: test bind before moving to production
I can't get this to work. I'm trying to use the test url .
When I open it in my browser, I get a server not found error.
In /etc/resolv.conf I changed
nameserver 127.0.0.1
I set:
chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf
and rebooted and opened the file to verify that it wasn't getting
overwritten
In /etc/named.conf I added
zone "tst.com" {
type master;
file "/var/named/tst.com.zone";
};
I created the file /var/named/tst.com.zone and added:
$TTL 86400
$TTL604800
@ IN SOA ns.example.com. root.example.com. (
1 ; Serial
604800 ; Refresh
86400 ; Retry
2419200 ; Expire
604800 ) ; Negative Cache TTL
;
@ IN NS ns.example.com.
ns IN A 127.0.0.1
In /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf I added:
ServerName tst.com
DocumentRoot /tmp/public_html_tst01
AllowOverride None
Require all denied
Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
ErrorLog /tmp/apache_logs/error.log
If I run:
named-checkconf /etc/named.conf
I don't get any output
If I run
named-checkzone tst.com /var/named/tst.com.zone
I get:
zone tst.com/IN: loaded serial 1
OK
I checked the apache error log and it is empty.

Both the dev and production machines are CentOS. I assume I'll need to edit
the host file to redirect to the local dns. But with this method I'm not
sure how it will resolve multiple domains (i.e. example.com and
example2.com).
The host file (/etc/hosts I assume) won't help. You can use
/etc/resolv.conf and have nameserver line point to your localhost for
testing.
Or use dig with the @ argument to set the address of the nameserver to
use. For example, "dig @127.0.0.1 www.example.com". Then also try that
from outside systems to using the @ with the network interface's
address.
