Hey linux user group! I am working on a project which requires me to have a DNS server configured and serving bogus information. Let's take the example of google. I have my DNS server all set up (in my basement at home, yay basement server farms) and it's perfectly capible of handling regular DNS requests for domains whose proper NS records (with whatever root name servers) point to it. What I need it to do, however, is also serve requests for example for www.google.com. That is to say, if I tell my laptop to use it as a primary DNS server, I need my laptop to draw an A record for www.google.com from MY name server, not query a.root-servers.net for an NS record, then NS1.google.com for an A record. I've configured my dns server to do this, but I don't know how to make it authoritative - for some reason it just seems to serve the correct records even when I edit its db.root to tell it that a.root-servers.net is the only root level dns server, and that it's ip is the name server's itself. Any ideas on how to get this rockin'? I can email config files if you like. For general info, the system is a ubuntu 8.04 box with bind-chroot installed (bind9) Alex
