Configuring DNS(BIND) in Sun (Oracle) Solaris 10

CONFIGURING BIND DNS SERVER:
==============================

pkginfo -x |grep -i bind

SUNWbind  - main Bind package
SUNWbindr - Service management

pkgchk -l SUNWbindr

pkgchk -l SUNWbind

dig mail.yahoo.com

dig mail.yahoo.com ns

dig mail.yahoo.com mx

By default /var/named and /etc/named.conf does not exist

create /etc/named.conf



options {
directory "/var/named";
};

###Special zone of root of DNS###

zone "." {
type hint;
file "db.cache";
};

###Reverse zone###

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "db.127.0.0";
};

zone "0.16.172.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "db.172.16.0";
};

###Forward Zone###

zone "unix.com" {
type master;
file "db.unix.com";
};

Save and exit

Download hint file,

mkdir /var/named

cd /var/named/

wget ftp://ftp.rs.internic.net/domain/named.root

ls -l

mv named.root db.cache
