Step by sep DNS Configuration on Linux RHEL5.doc

Step by step DNS Configuration on Linux RHEL5/OEL5 Welcome to our page. In this page we are going to discuss about Domain Name Server(DNS) configuration. Later the same DNS configuration going to use Oracle 11g Release 2 Real Application Cluster (RAC) Installations. Step 1 : Login as root and install below listed Bind RPMs. rpm -Uvh bind-9.3.3-7.el5.i386.rpm \bind-chroot-9.3.3-7.el5.i386.rpm \ bind-devel-9.3.3-7.el5.i386.rpm \ bind-libbind-devel-9.3.3-7.el5.i386.rpm \ bind-libs-9.3.3-7.el5.i386.rpm \ bind-sdb-9.3.3-7.el5.i386.rpm \ system-config-bind-4.0.3-2.el5.noarch.rpm \ caching-nameserver-9.3.3-7.el5.i386.rpm \ postgresql-libs-8.1.4-1.1.i386.rpm ? Step 2: Verify the IP address for the DNS server. Use following command to check the IP address. [root@dnc ~]# ifconfigeth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:29:7D:60:F3inet addr:00 Bcast:55 Mask:inet6 addr: fe80::20c:29ff:fe7d:60f3/64 Scope:LinkUP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1RX packets:28 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0TX packets:39 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000RX bytes:4919 (4.8 KiB) TX bytes:5628 (5.4 KiB)Interrupt:67 Base address:0x2024 Step 3: There are four files we have to edit. Find the below easy steps to configure the DNS server. 1. Create a named.conf file using sample named.caching-nameserver.conf file. [root@dnc ~]# cd /var/named/chroot/etc/ [root@dnc etc]# ls localtime named.caching-nameserver.conf named.rfc1912.zones rndc.key [root@dnc etc]#cp named.caching-nameserver.conf named.conf 2. Edit the named.conf file based on your configuration. For example. options {listen-on port 53 { 00; };# listen-on-v6 port 53 { ::1; };??????? directory /var/named;??????? dump-file /var/named/data/cache_dump.db;??????? statistics-file /var/named/data/named_stats.txt;??????? memstatistics-file /var/named/data/named_mem_stats.txt; ??????? // Those options should be used carefully because they disable port??????? // randomization??
