Re: [webmin-l] Private DNS server

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

Hi Stewart,
The best way to set this up would be to install BIND version 9, which has support for views. A view is a set of domains that are only visible to certain clients, such as those on the 10.* network.

You can set this up completely from within Webmin's BIND module..

       I'd like to setup a DNS server just for my servers  behind our firewalls. I would like this server to provide behind-the-firewall  addresses so our servers wouldn't have to rely on the public DNS servers which  we also run, eliminating host file entries and resolving some requests that  don't use the host file, and to avoid going out and back in through our  firewalls for our own requests.
 
 Are there any suggestions (gotchas) on what might  be useful when setting this up through Webmin? I only want our servers to  consult the public DNS servers for any domains not owned by us, but keep all  requests for our domains on our 10.0.0 network.
 
 I know this is a common setup and is probably not  going to cause me any problems, but I would like to know mostly of any Webmin  things that I need to be aware of as I go through the setup. I plan on changing  all of the resolv.conf files on the servers, adding this new server to the top,  and mostly just adding the master domain and reverse files from the real public  servers, and then changing the IPs. I do not want any transfers to or from this  new server. The new server will not be registered anywhere.
 
 Any suggestions and tips would be  appreciated.
