Create a new, empty zone for your local network: cat > /var/named/db.dynamic-example <<EOF $TTL 86400 @ IN SOA ns.example.com. root.ns.example.com. ( 2001010101 ; serial 3600 ; refresh 600 ; retry 3600000 ; expire 86400 ) ; default ttl @ IN NS ns.example.com. @ IN NS ns2.example.com. @ IN MX 5 mail.example.com. @ IN MX 10 mail2.example.com. EOF Change the ownership and mode of the file so that the named server can modify it when change requests are made: chown named:named /var/named/db.dynamic-example chmod 644 /var/named/db.dynamic-example Configure named to act as the master for the new zone, and accept updates from your local network: cat >> /etc/named.conf <<EOF zone "example.com"{ type master; allow-update { 192.168.1.0/24; }; file "db.dynamic-example"; }; EOF Your domain should be something that you do not publish to the public internet if you are going to allow your windows clients to update the zone. If your Windows domain is the same as a DNS domain that you publish, you will want to change it to something private. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
