DNS Server

[tenshinshoden]

I'm new to Linux, and I wanted to setup a DNS Server. I'm using Slackware Linux 8. How am I going to Setup my Slackware linux to be a DNS Server. Right now I wanted it to be a DNS server in my internal LAN, I have a pool of class c ip addresses (192.168.1.200 - 250)
Can you help me. Thanks

Slackware 8 comes with DNS (caching) setup. All you need to do is enable BIND (look in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet2 it's commented out). You might want to read the choort BIND (http://linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Chroot-BIND-HOWTO.html) howto for a safer way to do this.


*edit:

after that, you'll want to tell dhcpd to assign the nameserver for you clients

at top in /etc/dhcpd.conf
option domain-name-servers IP-of-slackware-box;
