bind, will it work for local dev dns? [solved]

wolfdogg · 2015-04-26 03:33:43

im trying to get bind to work, and trying to get my stack overflow points up lately too,
will bind work for what i need it for?

i have a lamp stack arch box here, and im putting bind on it, hopefully to solve an issue. briefly, i want this lamp stack to also be my internal network's dns server, for a specific purpose. that purpose is so that on my windows dev machine, i dont have to fuck with my etc/hosts file any more, and so that i can finally designate this lamp stack server with a real domain name structure (e.g. on httpd.conf ServeName=finally.domain.pvt, as opposed to ServerName=192.168.1.10:80, and so that i can simplify my vhosts file too, by having a domain standard finally. so i aim to replace etc/hosts entries (e.g. shitter.domain.pvt, pisser.domain.pvt, pooper.domain.pvt, ideally into *.domain.pvt on zone file) with A record entries so they are propegated to all pcs on the network. is this possible?

see this for all the details.

You're asking whether BIND is a DNS server. Yes, of course it is.

ok so atleast im not going crazy. and i have chosen a domain, ld.pvt is what its going to me. so form my websites, wolfdogg.org, i want to map it into /home/wolfdogg/sites/wolfdogg.org, and the domain to be wolfdogg.org.ld.pvt to make it internal. so im guessing the zone file is ld.pvt, but is teh nameserver whoms hostname is falcon become falcon.ld.pvt, or is that separate totally to where i can call it ns1.ld.pvt? this part i cant get past.

then, i want forwarders(e.g. 8.8.8.8), but not forward only right? i.e., it would be great to experiment by setting my redtail dev box DNS settings to point to this falcon box dns server. so barring figuring out what to name my dns server, (either falcon.ld.pvt, or ns1.ld.pvt which is on falcon.ld.pvt). am i on the right track so far?

what i want is to have my arch box

solved

one problem was being shed light from

journalctl -xn

, i needed to do what was mentioned here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 4#p1391324 to solve those issues. the file, and dir were missing.

the rest of teh problems were worked out with a better understanding of the zone file, and with finally getting logging working ( see named.conf for that)

if somebody wants to add this to the wiki, and or make a wiki called local dns server, or something, feel free, otherwise, i will end up getting this stuff in there in due time.
