Re: DNS/Domain questions
In short:
1) Buy DNS & BIND, 4th edition, and read it cover to cover
2) Use BIND9 instead of BIND, as that provides "views." Views allow you to
present one set of DNS entries to "the rest of the world" and another set
internally
Cheers,
Doug

I just recently purchased a domain name and am wondering on a few things.
Which package would be best to create my own name server? A lot of places
have it, but for an extra fee. Why pay when I have Debian is my slogan <grin>.
I have done some researching on BIND and have looked through a lot of it's
docs and FAQs, but none to which really seemed to pertain to my individual
situation/question. Excuse my choppy explanation, but I'll give it a whirl..
If I have myname.com and I register my IP as the DNS, what do I need to
use to let the debian box resolve subdomains (server1.myname.com,
server2.myname.com, etc etc) to the outside world. The second would also
deal with firewall issuing. Since my main FTP/MAIL/WEB debian box is
behind a SOHO firewall, is there anyway way to allow the DNS to resolve to
internal IP's as well? For instance, a completely different box with a
different internal IP running a completely different FTP/MAIL/WEB server?
Sorry if it sounds like babble, but that is about the best way I can
explain it.
Thanks in advance.
