Hi,

I would like to setup a DNS server for name resolution and caching.I would like to do this on Solaris 10 so that this DNS server can handle both naming and caching.

Please i would like to know the necessary steps on how to do this so i can use the same in a production environment.

Here is a subsection of our cookbook:

We create the usual files in /var/named and the config file /etc/named.conf. The service is enabled and started as follows.

        svcadm disable dns/server
        svcadm enable dns/server
        svcadm restart svc:/network/dns/server:default
        tail -f /var/svc/log/network-dns-server\:default.log
        svcs -l dns/server
        tail -f /var/adm/messages

        svcadm -v enable -s bind
        svcs -vx bind
        svcs -x svc:/network/dns/server or svcprop svc:/network/dns/server


        cat  /var/named/smartsoft.internal.db

$TTL 7200
@ IN SOA merkur.smartsoft.internal. root.smartsoft.internal. (
                        2004070819      ; serial
                        8H           ; refresh
                        2H            ; retry
                        1W         ; expiry
                        40000          ; weekly expiration
)

                IN      NS      ns

merkur  IN      A       192.168.1.1
venus   IN      A       192.168.1.2
earth   IN      A       192.168.1.3


        cat  /etc/named.conf

options {
        directory "/var/named";
        pid-file "named.pid";
allow-transfer {212.108.160.1; 212.108.160.2; 212.108.161.2; 195.20.224.97; 195.20.224.98; 212.227.123.18; 212.227.123.29; 62.116.163.100;};
};

zone "." in {
        type hint;
        file "named.ca";
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "named.local";
        notify no;
};

zone "smartsoft.internal"
{
        type master;
        file "smartsoft.internal.db";
        notify yes;
};

Add as many zones like smartsoft.internal as you want to named.conf and provide the corresponding zone file in /var/named.

Hope this helps!

Regards,

  Andreas Höschler
