Created page with "== Restart the DNS == <syntaxhighlight> /etc/init.d/bind9 restart </syntaxhighlight> == Check the Configuration == Look at /etc/bind/named.conf.local. This file defines the zones for the DNS <b..."

New page
== Restart the DNS ==

<syntaxhighlight>
/etc/init.d/bind9 restart
</syntaxhighlight>

== Check the Configuration ==

Look at /etc/bind/named.conf.local. This file defines the zones for the DNS

<syntaxhighlight>
zone "pxe.boston.co.uk." {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.pxe.boston.co.uk";
};
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Zone Configuration ===

Each Zone defined above will have an assosicated db file. This file defines the settings, and the hosts within the zone.

<syntaxhighlight>
$TTL 300
@ IN SOA 172.28.0.2. nobody.example.com. (
1368538905 ; Serial
600 ; Refresh
1800 ; Retry
604800 ; Expire
300 ; TTL
)

IN NS 172.28.0.2.

puppet IN A 172.28.0.2

arm0 IN A 172.28.98.0;
arm0-ipmi IN A 172.28.99.0;
</syntaxhighlight>

== Testing the DNS ==

=== check the config ===

<syntaxhighlight>
named-checkconf
named-checkzone pxe.boston.co.uk /etc/bind/db.pxe.boston.co.uk
</syntaxhighlight>

These two tests should show up any issues.

== Check a specific host ==

<syntaxhighlight>
root@ubuntu1204-cobbler:~/scripts# host cloud9
cloud9.pxe.boston.co.uk has address 172.28.12.9
</syntaxhighlight>
