This article shows my process of installing and configuring bind9 DNS server on a linux server. I didn't touch every aspects of bind9, but following the process, a DNS server is configured with A/AAAA, NAPTR and SRV resource record types. The DNS server
is able to be used for testing.
## download bind-9.10.0-P1.tar.gz
https://www.isc.org/downloads/bind/
## untar the package
tar xzvf bind-9.10.0-P1.tar.gz
## config and install
cd bind-9.10.0-P1
./configure
./make
./make install
## test named is installed
named -v
named -g
## generate rndc.key
cd /etc
rndc-confgen -a
## generate /etc/named.conf with contents
cat /etc/named.conf
zone "lingcloud.com" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/zones/lingcloud.com.db";
};
## config zone with example contents
cat /etc/bind/zones/lingcloud.com.db
; BIND data file for lingcloud.com
;
