New page

==WHY==

Because I'm setting up a new server and didn't get the chance to post a "how to" on how I do it. I'm sure there are stuff I do wrong, but .. the basics work.

==HOW==

My named runs as a chroot. My zone files are in /var/named/chroot/var/named/pri . My named.conf is in /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf .

The new domain I'll set up is named d3xt3r01.tk . First, edit /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf:

<source lang="bash">
zone "d3xt3r01.tk" {
type master;
file "pri/d3xt3r01.tk.zone"; // Relative path to chroot
notify no;
};
</source>

Now I edit /var/named/chroot/var/named/pri/famouswhy.com.zone like this:

<source lang="bash">
$TTL 3D
@ IN SOA ns1.d3xt3r01.tk. dexter.d3xt3r01.tk. (
2009112401 ; Serial, todays date + todays serial
8H ; Refresh
2H ; Retry
4W ; Expire
1D) ; Minimum TTL
@ NS ns1
@ NS ns2
@ MX 1 mail.d3xt3r01.tk
@ TXT "d3xt3r01 main"
ns1 A 174.120.208.202
ns2 A 174.120.208.201
www A 174.120.208.203
mail A 174.120.208.204
</source>

Reboot the named and set up ns1 and ns2 to those ips in your dns config panel and wait 24-72 hours for the changes to commit.
