how to install dns in cent os please sir/madam
You'll find the answers in the deployment guide:
http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/
Next time, please check documentation on the CentOS
website. ?CentOS/RedHat documentation is plentiful, a
web search should turn up plenty of useful documentation.
If you get stuck following the documentation, post back
for help with error messages and other details.
This is a great place to deal with CentOS specific considerations.
However, IMO, it is also imperative to understand how DNS works (or
for that matter any service that one wants to deploy), at least at a
macro level i.e. action/re-action between client, server and root
servers. I find this kind of research/curiosity lacking from the way
the questions are posed.- just tell me what to do, I don't care how
the service works. The result is that we end up with unbaked
network/system admins who claim they know "xyz" service.
To the OP please do the following:
(a) spend the time on understanding how DNS works. It is the most
essential service that forms the platform for practically all other
network services.d If you don't get it right then nothing else will
work. TLDP (www.tldp.org) has a nice HOW-TO which delves into the
basics of DNS a good starting point. "DNS and Bind" by O'Reilly is
another great resource for DNS workings just as this is
<
http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/>. Both start from the basics and
then move on to BIND configuration.
(b) BIND is the default DNS server in most Linux distros. However,
the config files can be organized in different ways. The config file
organization in RHEL/Fedor/CentOS is different from that of Debian
which is quite different from that of openSUSE. Therefore, mention
which distro you are using and the version of BIND as well.
