Hi there,
I started with a fresh CentOS 5 system and did the guide here:
http://howtoforge.com/virtual-hostin...n-centos5.1-p6
I skipped all the mail setup because my host doesn't allow me to send mail yet but that should be no problem.
The thing that is the problem which I am trying to figure out is how I can setup BIND on my server so that I can host other domains.
I have webmin setup and everything seems to be working ok.
I don't have any zones created yet though and I am not sure how to go about doing it. The guide doesn't seem to explain much.
In webmin it says:
There are no DNS zones defined for this name server
Create master zone. | Create slave zone. | Create stub zone. | Create forward zone. | Create delegation zone. | Create root zone. | Create zones from batch file.
Existing Client Views
There are no client views defined on this server.
Create client view.
These allow me to create zones but I really am not entirely sure what they are exactly or what I am supposed to do to get things going. I have installed all this as in the guide but at page 6 I am stuck.
Specifically at these steps:
BIND DNS Domain Template
This template is used to customize the zones that will be created by virtualmin. The changes to be made are adding a spf record, add the following records to auto generated text box (replace ns1.home.topdog-software.com. with your slave server):
@ IN NS ns1.home.topdog-software.com. ;slave
admin IN A 192.168.1.6 ;virtualmin
webmail IN A 192.168.1.5 ;webmail
In the directives text box add the following with the IP address of your slave server such that the slave is allowed to do zone transfers.
allow-transfer { 192.168.1.2; };
I don't have a domain pointed at the server yet even. I am not sure what to put instead of ns1.home.topdog-software.com or the IP addresses. I do have 3 IP addresses on the system.
I also am not sure what it means by slave server. I don't even know that I have a slave server. I have one dedicated server.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!
