Hey Folks,
What do I need to do to get a new site to show up in DNS? This is the
scenario: I've just connected a pc via satalite to the net, now I want
it to show up as a sub-part (is that the right term?) on our domain.
ie our domain is "foo.net"
and we want it to show up as "104.foo.net"
we already have named running locally in the Home Office
what should I do?
Ummm, if you run the authoritive name server for foo.com then add a line
like this to the zone file for foo.com
104 IN A 127.0.0.1
But replace 127.0.0.1 with the machine (104's) internet IP address.
Also make sure you update the timestamp at the top of the zone file.
Its a number like 2003100401, replace it with the date in a format like
this YYYYMMDD and just add 01 to the end, incase you make another chage
that day then you can just +1 so its 2.
After all that reload you name servers config. In debian
/etc/init.d/bind9 reload
(assuming your using bind9 and installed it via apt)
Otherwise refer to any docs you got with your name server
Best of luck :D
