Hi,
I have this Problem that i am new to Linux and i have sucessfully configured DHCP,Natting(Thanks to LinuxSolved) and i know how to Run Squid)
But i am unable to Configure DNS bind(named service) on RHEL5.
This is what i did.
i visited http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch18_:_Configuring_DNS
and tried to follow the instructions.
1. I didnt install DNS Bind again because i think i have named as a service already present but not working properly So i moved to the configuration.
2. [root@bigboy tmp]# chkconfig named on
3. [root@bigboy tmp]# cp -f /etc/named.conf /var/named/chroot/etc/
[root@bigboy tmp]# cp -f /etc/rndc.* /var/named/chroot/etc/
4.[root@bigboy tmp]# locate named.conf
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/named.conf
/usr/share/doc/bind-9.3.3/sample/etc/named.conf
[root@bigboy tmp]# cp /usr/share/doc/bind-9.3.3/sample/etc/named.conf \
/var/named/chroot/etc
[root@bigboy tmp]# ln -s /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf /etc/named.conf
[root@bigboy tmp]# locate named.root.hints
/usr/share/doc/bind-9.3.3/sample/etc/named.root.hints
[root@bigboy tmp]# cp /usr/share/doc/bind-9.3.3/sample/etc/named.root.hints \
/var/named/chroot/etc
[root@bigboy tmp]# ln -s /var/named/chroot/etc/named.root.hints /etc/named.root.hints
[root@bigboy tmp]# locate named.root
/usr/share/doc/bind-9.3.3/sample/etc/named.root.hints
/usr/share/doc/bind-9.3.3/sample/var/named/named.root
[root@bigboy tmp]#
[root@bigboy tmp]# cp /usr/share/doc/bind-9.3.3/sample/var/named/named.root \
/var/named/chroot/var/named/named.root
[root@bigboy tmp]#
5. Then i Added These Zones in my /etc/Named.conf file
zone “my-web-site.org” {
type master;
notify no;
allow-query { any; };
file “my-site.zone”;
};
zone “another-site.com” {
type master;
notify no;
allow-query { any; };
file “another-site.zone”;
};
zone “1.168.192.in-addr.arpa” {
type master;
notify no;
file “192-168-1.zone”;
};
i didnt added Next Local host resolver Lines as i already see then in my named.conf file.
Following is my named.conf file

HELP
