Install and Setting Bind9 on Linux Debian

Install and setting up bin9 on linux debian. What is bind9 ? Bind9 is DNS Server based linux OS.
You can create your own domain at local network. Example : aruel.com, pakar-it.info, etc.

Ok, let's begin.

1. Installing bind9 :

apt-get install bind9

2. Copy file /etc/bind/db.local to /etc/bind/db.forward, and /etc/bind/db.127 to /etc/bind/db.reverse

cp /etc/bind/db.local /etc/bind/db.forward

cp /etc/bind/db.127 /etc/bind/db.reverse

3. Edit file /etc/bind/named.conf, add this line to end off file

nano /etc/bind/named.conf

zone "pakar-it.info" {
type master;
file "db.forward";
};

zone "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "db.reverse";
};

Note : you can replace pakar-it.info with your domain.
0.168.192 is your IP. If your IP 192.168.100.1, so you can use 100.168.192.

4. Edit /etc/bind/db.forward . Edit localhost with your hostname and your domain.

@ IN SOA ns.pakar-it.info. arul.pakar-it.info.(
