Hello there,
I am still unable to run a DNS service from F7 for my home network.
Since my last post I have found the listen-on option, which seems to allow bind/named
to respond to queries of the type:
host XXXXX 168.254.0.1
when issued from the server. But not when issued from somewhere else on the network.
I just get " connection timed out; no servers could be reached"
Any clues PLEASE?
Bill
The pertinent parts of my /etc/named.conf look like:
acl "trusted" {
localhost;
192.168.0.0/16;
72.19.169.230;
};
...
zone "local.davenjudy.org" IN {
type master;
file "local.davenjudy.org";
allow-query {
trusted;
};
allow-update {
trusted;
};
};
...
zone "168.192.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "192.168";
allow-query {
trusted;
};
allow-update {
trusted;
};
};
...
You need something like the "allow-update" clauses if you are running
dhcp and want to have local systems to have their DNS information
entered by dhcpd. There was a discussion back a while ago on an
alternative way of specifying this but that's as much as I remember at
the moment.
Cheers,
Dave
