Step 6 – Configure named.conf.options file with this command nano /etc/bind/named.conf.options and make the following changes:
options {
directory "/var/cache/bind";
query-source address * port 53;
forwarders {
8.8.4.4; 8.8.8.8;
};
dnssec-validation auto;
auth-nxdomain no; # conform to RFC1035
listen-on-v6 { any; };
};
Step 7 – Configure named.conf.local file with this command nano /etc/bind/named.conf.local and make the following changes:
zone "linux-sys-adm.com" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.linux-sys-adm.com";
};
zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.1.168.192";
};
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.0.0.127";
};
Step 8 – Create and configure db.linux-sys-adm.com file with this command nano /etc/bind/db.linux-sys-adm.com and make the following changes:
$TTL 604800
@ IN SOA mail.linux-sys-adm.com. admin.linux-sys-adm.com. (
030512 ; Serial
604800 ; Refresh
86400 ; Retry
2419200 ; Expire
604800 ); Negative Cache TTL
;
@ IN NS mail
IN MX 10 mail
IN A 192.168.0.100
mail IN A 192.168.0.100
Step 9 – Create and configure db.0.0.127 file with this command nano /etc/bind/db.0.0.127 and make the following changes:
$TTL 3D
@ IN SOA mail.linux-sys-adm.com. admin.linux-sys-adm.com. (
2 ; Serial
8H ; Refresh
2H ; Retry
4W ; Expire
1D) ; Minimum TTL
NS mail.linux-sys-adm.com.
1 PTR localhost.
Step 10 – Create and configure db.1.168.192 file with this command nano /etc/bind/db.1.168.192 and make the following changes:
$TTL 3D
@ IN SOA mail.linux-sys-adm.com. admin.linux-sys-adm.com. (
1 ; Serial
8H ; Refresh
2H ; Retry
4W ; Expire
1D) ; Minimum TTL
NS linux-sys-adm.com.
10 PTR linux-sys-adm.com.
Step 11 – Restart bind service:
root@mail:/# /etc/init.d/bind9 restart
Step 12 – Test dns record with this command dig linux-sys-adm.com :
dig linux-sys-adm.com ; <<gt;gt; DiG 9.9.5-3ubuntu0.3-Ubuntu <<gt;gt; linux-sys-adm.com ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; -gt;gt;HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 48410 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 2 ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: ; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 4096 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;linux-sys-adm.com.
