Hi, I wondering if I can setup a dns server on my home network even though I don't have a registered domain name? Is this possible? I guess all I would need to do is install bind or something? Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks Mike
Yes. I did that here a 2-3 years ago. I found the "DNS HOWTO" at: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/DNS-HOWTO.html to be quite helpful. It provided a good tutorial as well as a reasonable guide to setting it up. It shows quite a few "newbie mistakes" or "gotchas" in setting up the appropriate config files. The version of the HOWTO I used was older than the current version, so YMMV. I really havn't looked at the current version of the HOWTO, but it appears to have been revised fairly recently & probably is "up-to-date".
