Start with /etc/named.conf and the newer files in /var/named/chroot/, specifically the ones you're modifying. > Because i am supposed to config all the services (DNS, httpd, ftp, > mail, etc) in fedora.. but i do not have real ip address to configure, > so i just wanted to know how to make my DNS server work without using > static ip address. Make up some IP addresses that aren't in use, use something from one of the private IP ranges. e.g. If your network uses addresses 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255, pick one or two that aren't used by your network as examples to test with. Making DNS serving work with dynamic IP addresses is more tricky. I wouldn't attempt that until you're familiar with configuring static addresses into it. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
