how to setup DNS * A record

[Guangcai Wang]

I am following the guide http://docs.cloudfoundry.org/deploying/openstack/ to install CF v2 on openstack. Now, I am on the step 7 to install cloud foundry. but I don't understand how and where to set up the DNS required by the guide.

 

"It is also required that you have provisioned a floating IP address (2.3.4.5 in the examples below) and setup your DNS to map * records to this IP address. For example, if you were using mycloud.com domain as the base domain for your Cloud Foundry, you need a * A record for this zone mapping to 2.3.4.5."

 

1. should I config this on powerDNS managed by BOSH?

2. should I create a new VM assigned 2.3.4.5 to act as a DNS server?

3. any other configuration?

Setup a DNS server outside of VMs. and let openstack network point out to the DNS server.
