I'm a real newbie when it comes to DNS, but I have been reading the Linux DNS howto for information (
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/DNS-HOWTO.html).
I would like to set up DNS for a home network using OpenBSD 4.3. I'm using a private 192.168.0.0 IP range.
I have three questions at this point.
- The end of /var/named/etc/name.conf has the following contents:
Code:
// Master zones
//
//zone "myzone.net" {
// type master;
// file "master/myzone.net";
//};
// Slave zones
//
//zone "otherzone.net" {
// type slave;
// file "slave/otherzone.net";
// masters { 192.0.2.1; [...;] };
//};
Am I correct that I will using this last "slave" zone for the caching nameserver?
- /etc/resolv.conf on any client connecting to this caching server needs to specify a domain. Am I correct that I will still be using the ISP's domain, but specify the IP address for the local caching server?
- For my last question, since I will not be configuring zone information for a caching nameserver, will I need to be concerned about setting up dynamic DNS?
Thanks!
