Hi Daniel,
You probably want to use ISC bind in /usr/ports/dns
I recommend you read the O'Reilly book DNS and BIND.
Basic process -
Install and configure bind. If possible set up on two or more machines/ip.
IMHO it's less hassle to set up duplicate masters and rsync changes from
your 'main' install instead of setting up master/slave configurations.
create zone file for your domain, ie
$TTL 86400
example.com. IN SOA ns1.example.com. ns@example.com. (
2012010210
28800
7200
1209600
86400 )
example.com. NS ns1.example.com.
example.com. NS ns2.example.com.
example.com. MX 0 mail.example.com.
example.com. A 192.168.0.133
www.example.com. A 192.168.0.133
* IN CNAME www.example.com.
cname is good for people who enjoy making typos like wwww and ww
add your domain zone file to named.conf, ie
zone "example.com" IN {
type master;
file "example.com.hosts";
};
reload nameserver
rndc reload
export your nameservers to root ns, this process varies for registrar -
look for "use my own nameserver" or "create nameservers based on domain" in
your registrar help docs. Maybe you can contact internic/nsi directly
instead (?). Back in the old days users just spread around copies of the
hosts file.
Have fun.
