How To Install And Use The djbdns Name Server On Debian Etch

djbdns is a very secure suite of DNS tools that consists out of multiple parts: dnscache, a DNS cache that can be used in /etc/resolv.conf instead of your ISP's name servers and that tries to sort out wrong (malicious) DNS answers; axfrdns, a service that runs on the master DNS server and to which the slaves connect for zone transfers; and tinydns, the actual DNS server, a very secure replacement for BIND.

Installing MyDNS And The MyDNSConfig Control Panel On CentOS 5.1

In this tutorial I will describe how to install and configure MyDNS and MyDNSConfig on CentOS 5.1. MyDNS is a DNS server that uses a MySQL database as backend instead of configuration files like, for example, Bind or djbdns. The advantage is that MyDNS simply reads the records from the database, and it does not have to be restarted/reloaded when DNS records change or zones are created/edited/deleted. A secondary nameserver can be easily set up by installing a second instance of MyDNS that accesses the same database or, to be more redundant, uses the MySQL master / slave replication features to replicate the data to the secondary nameserver.

Lintrack As A LAN Gateway And An OpenVPN Bridge

This tutorial will guide you through installation and configuration of Lintrack, a GNU/Linux distribution specialized in networking tasks. We will give two LANs access to the internet along with DHCP and DNS cache servers, and then we will connect our networks using OpenVPN in bridging mode. You should be running all these in well under an hour, thanks to the unified configuration interface of Lintrack.

Creating A DNS Cache With djbdns

Building a local DNS cache will speed up your internet connection since the time for the “translation job” (converting domain names into IP addresses) will become negligible with the assumption that the DNS cache gets the information from the parent DNS.

How To Run Your Own Name Server With ISPConfig And providerdomain.de (Schlund)

This tutorial shows how you can run your own name server for domains that you register with providerdomain.de (Schlund Technologies). Of course, this works with every other registrar as well, although the procedure might differ a little bit. We will use the ISPConfig server as the primary name server and one of Schlund's name servers as the secondary name server.

MyDNS with MyDNSConfig Control Panel and DNSMasq on Ubuntu 6.10

Resolving Domains Internally And Externally With Bind9 And Caching Nameserver

Some times, we are required to resolve our internal domains on a local nameserver and external (internet) domains on our ISP's nameserver. There are different solutions to this problem, but in this howto, we are going to solve it through configuring a combination of caching-nameserver and BIND 9.

How To Configure Dynamic DNS (Fedora Core 4 Setup)

In this howto we will learn how to build a Dynamic DNS Server. Normally when we configure DNS, we use static entries to resolve any FQDN. If we are using DHCP in our network which gives dynamic IPs to every computer that turns on or requests one, then it is not possible to configure DNS statically. For that we should configure our DNS with DHCP in a manner that whenever a computer gets a new IP, its FQDN will be automatically updated with the new IP in DNS.
