Comments on Installing MyDNS And The MyDNSConfig Control Panel On Fedora 8
Installing MyDNS And The MyDNSConfig Control Panel On Fedora 8 In this tutorial I will describe how to install and configure MyDNS and MyDNSConfig on Fedora 8. 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.

Can we add some insert scripts to this document for
internal network and its corresponding reverse zone
external network and its corresponding reverse zone
external e.g www.example.com / mx.example.com
internal e.g www.example.com / printer.example.com
I would make one suggestion related to the downloadable virtual machine. All vm's should be built with SCSI drives not IDE. IDE drives cannot be easily converted for use on ESX. I paid for a month just to download this and now cannot use it. Not good.
The problem is that Fedora doesn't recognize SCSI drives in VMware Server, that's why I have to use IDE drives.
Sorry, that just isn't true. I have several Fedora Core 7 vm's using SCSI virtual hd's all running under VMWare Server 1.1.6. In addition, I routinely use the VMWare Converter (version 3.0.3) to move them between Server and ESX/ESXi 3.5. SCSI drives work just fine in Server.

All I can say is that on my system, Fedora and SCSI don't go together. :-(
