DNS Server
Andy Pieters
I once again would like some help. There are tons and tons of materials
regarding bind setup and I would just like one that explains step by step how
to setup a primary name server for a toplevel domain. I would like to have
reverse dns as well as an MX record.
I insist since I cannot aford to make a mistake. Once I change the address of
the nameserver in the registars control panel it must work from the first
time.
If any of you have used such a guide or walktrough and have been successfull
with it, please reply.
With kind regards
Andy

I can recommend Cricket Liu's ``DNS and BIND'' (O'Reilly). In addition to
explaining the things you've listed, it also contains heaps of more advanced
information without becoming overly dense.

before, I suggest you use the free services of http://zoneedit.com and
then learn how to manage your own servers, since It might take 2 or 3
weeks to get really good at managing domains, and zone edit is as
simple as it comes, so maybe you ill just stick with it, not to mention
there uptime record is great!
Andy Pieters
do my research in the meantime!

You do manage a *toplevel* domain (like ".fr" or ".org")? Are you
sure?

"com" is the top-level domain here (because it is immediately beneath
the root), "vlaamse-kern.com" is a second-level domain and the one you
control (there is probably a mistake here, you probably meaned
"vlaamse-kern.com"), "www.vlaamse-kern.com" is a third-level domain
name.

Get yourself a copy of DNS & BIND. It will tell you everything you
want to know and more. What you want to do is not that hard and you
can set up your DNS servers and fully test them before you change the
IP addresses.
Andy Pieters
> But now for bind. What do you want bind to do?
I have a Celeron providing resolves for 10 clients on the LAN, mainly because
there seems to be an issue with the nameservers of my isp.
Besides that I would like to have this same Celeron act as primary name server
and the ns1.numericable.fr as secondary nameserver.
I used a template to make the following files
0.0.127.in-addr.arpa.zone
1.1.10.in-addr.arpa.zone
168.220.80.in-addr.arpa.zone
localhost.zone
vlaamse-kern.com.zone
named.local
I can output the contents of those files if you would like to see them.
Now when I start Named it says "[OK]" but it isn't loaded.
Examening the log mentions that it couldn't open its pid file?
With kind regards
Andy

Hi Andy,
here is what my log looks, when bind starts:
named_start("Aug-1","14:04:22","BIND 9.2.3 -t /var/lib/named -u named").
named_listening("Aug-1","14:04:23","IP127000000001").
named_listening("Aug-1","14:04:23","IP192168048228").
named_command("Aug-1","14:04:24","IP192168020228","PORT00953").
named_command("Aug-1","14:04:24","IP127000000001","PORT00953").
named_loaded("Aug-1","14:04:44",".").
named_loaded("Aug-1","14:04:45","5wc").
named_loaded("Aug-1","14:04:45","arpa").
named_loaded("Aug-1","14:04:46","in-addr.arpa").
...
named_running("Aug-1","14:05:52").
named_notify("Aug-1","14:05:52",".","2005080112)").
named_notify("Aug-1","14:05:53","in-addr.arpa","2005080104)").
...
named_lame("Aug-1","14:06:00","IP216066037013","'dynupdate.no-ip.com'").
named_serial("Aug-1","14:06:03","nl.vg","2005073100").
named_axfr_in("Aug-1","14:06:03","IP084022100006","nl.vg").
named_serial("Aug-1","14:06:03","eu.vg","2004110100").
named_axfr_in("Aug-1","14:06:03","IP084022100006","eu.vg").
named_notify("Aug-1","14:06:03","nl.vg","2005073100)").
named_notify("Aug-1","14:06:03","eu.vg","2004110100)").
I guess your bind only reached named_start.
The listing is somewhat shortened and beautyfied.
If your bind is started in chroot mode then its directories should
look something like
echnaton 1.0.9 # ls -l /var/lib/named
total 7
drwxr-xr-x 2 named root 1024 Oct 9 23:48 DNSOP
drwxr-xr-x 2 named root 1024 Oct 3 19:18 Tallini
drwxr-x--- 2 named root 1024 Feb 1 2005 dev
drwxr-x--- 2 named root 1024 Oct 9 23:16 etc
drwxr-xr-x 2 named root 1024 Sep 19 10:42 master
drwxr-xr-x 2 named root 1024 Oct 12 11:15 slave
drwxr-xr-x 5 named root 1024 Feb 1 2005 var
echnaton 1.0.9 # ls -l /var/lib/named/var
total 3
drwxr-xr-x 2 named root 1024 Jun 5 17:47 log
drwxr-x--- 2 named root 1024 Feb 1 2005 named
drwxr-x--- 2 named root 1024 Oct 12 03:52 run
echnaton 1.0.9 # ls -l /var/lib/named/var/run
total 1
-rw-r--r-- 1 named named 4 Oct 12 03:52 named.pid
Maybe you have to check the directory structure.
Maybe you have to create (vi :) the named.pid file and chown it
to named.named
If this does not help please tell how far you bind comes.
Dont worry your listing will look a bit different.
We shall look into resolving and serving DNS as soon as your
bind comes up.
Kind regards,
Peter and Karin

Your named probably does not have permission to create the pid file. I
think the default directory for named.pid is /var/run/named. You can
create the /var/run/named directory and give named permission to write
to it.
