• Every DNS zone needs to have 'NS' records that say what the nameserver records are for that domain. Now, whether those point to your server, or a remote service, depends on your setup.
• In this post, i will guide you on how to install and configure Bind Chroot DNS server on Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 (RHEL 6). DNS is the Domain Name System that maintains a database that can help user’s computer to translate domain names to IP addresses.

I'm trying to find a simple tutorial or more precise information where I can configure Webmin's DHCP to update/create an A record on Webmin's Bind DNS service from a DHCP Client's hostname. Anyone set this up before or similar using something else? Create rndc.key and copy. Seems there is enough interest to get this started. Jan 06, 2010  Hi! I've now repeatedly had serious problems with rndc and bind! If I restart the server, everything works fine (for a while), but I am unable to restart the server with either 'rndc -s localhost stop/start' or '/etc/init.d/named restart'. There is no UNIX domain socket support for control channels in BIND 9 servers. When using rndc, you need to specify a 'key' clause to communicate with the name server. It is mandatory that the BIND 9 server and the rndc client share the same key (defined both in /etc/named.conf and /etc/rndc.conf ).

ISC BIND9 Container (Stable: 9.14.8_xx) built on top of Alpine

Last update: 2-6-20

Latest Stable Docker Tag: 9.14.8-r0

NOTE: 'Last Update' is the date of the latest DockerHub build.

This container is a super small (~5MB compressed pull, and only ~9MBwhen extracted) FULL version of ISC BIND9.

It is ideal for an extremely secure and fast master (authoritative server),slave, recursive server/resolver, RPZ 'dns firewall', or justabout any other purpose you can use bind for.

To get started quickly, skip to step 'D'.

This container will always be up to date on the lateststable+patched version, usually within 24 hours of it being availablein Alpine. In fact, most of the BIND vulnerabilities so far have beenreported by me to the Alpine developers.

This container contains everything needed in terms of configuration torun as an authoritative server or a recursive resolver/forwarding cacher.

However, the default config permits queries and recursion only from 127.0.0.1 - which will not be too useful :)But the assumption is that you will override /etc/bind with your configs, and /var/cache/bind with your zones.

This container assumes you have a '/DATA' folder with with your container specific data.(You can change that folder, sub-folders, and file points as needed, but make sure you update the '-v' mounts for the run.)

Started Generate Rndc Key For Bind Dns Server

Specifically, you need to have these directories/paths:

Default Example:

This is just to test it out - by default only allows queries fromitself (127.0.0.1) -- pretty useless for real world usage

Customer Override Example for Authoritative Master

Edit: named.conf.local with your forward zone at leastand create the file in /var/cache/bind/$yourdomain.tld

Custom Override Example for Recursive Resolver/Cacher:

Edit: named.conf.options -> change the 'allow-recursion' and 'allow-query' with your subnets

Additional options may be passed to the bind daemon via the OPTIONS argument, provided as:`docker run --env OPTIONS='..'

How do I generate an RNDC Key?

Take the portion that looks like this and save to '/etc/bind/rndc.key':

What configuration files do I need to get started?

I highly recommend reading more about bind if this is your question. Here are some useful resources:

That said, as a bare minimum (and depending on what you want - recursive, authoritative, etc), you need:

Started Generate Rndc Key For Bind Dns Service

[note: all of these are provided in container/configs folder]

1.) Main config: /etc/bind/named.conf

2.) Options: /etc/bind/named.conf.options (note: sane and secure defaults for recursive! If for authoritative, turn off recursive at least!)

3.) Local zones: /etc/bind/named.conf.local (for your zone configs if authoritative/slave/etc)

4.) Optional: /etc/bind/named.conf.rfc1918 (for your RFC1918 'private IP' zone definitions - this is optional, and while recommended, you may comment out the last line in named.conf.local that utilizes it)

Generate ssh key git bash. 5.) Optional: /etc/bind/default-zones (folder for rfc1918 definitions - not needed if named.conf.rfc1918 is not used)

How do I log everything:

1.) Add to your named.conf:

and

2.) Create a file named.conf.logging with:

'-g' = (default) Run the server in the foreground and force all logging stderr.'-f' = Run the server in the foreground
