DNS & Bind

[John Nichel]

Hi guys and gals. I have recently been "promoted" to network admin at my place of employment (there were only two of us at my work who even knew what a network card is, and the other quit). Anywho, I have bind 9.1.3 setup on our primary name server, and have it working fine for our primary domain name. What I want to do is add other domains for internal, developmental use. Our company has 8 different domain web sites, and I'm setting up dev boxes for each one of these. I have the main one set up, but I don't want to have to set up a name server for each domain (I know one DNS machine can handle quite a few domain names).

My nameserver is set up with a /etc/named.conf like this....

// generated by named-bootconf.pl

options {
directory "/var/named";
};

//
// a caching only nameserver config
//
controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey; };
};
zone "." IN {
type hint;
file "named.ca";
};

zone "localhost" IN {
type master;
file "localhost.zone";
allow-update { none; };
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "named.local";
allow-update { none; };
};

zone "primary.tcc" {
type master;
notify no;
file "local/primary.tcc";
};

include "/etc/rndc.key";

The zone file for primary.tcc looks like this....

$TTL 3D
@ IN SOA ns.primary.tcc. hostmaste.primary.tcc. (
199802151 ; serial, todays date + todays serial #
8H ; refresh, seconds
2H ; retry, seconds
4W ; expire, seconds
1D ) ; minimum, seconds
;
NS ns ; Inet Address of name server
MX 10 mail.primary.tcc
;
localhost A 127.0.0.1
ns A 11.11.68.3
mail A 11.11.68.3

www CNAME ns

admin A 11.11.68.3
MX 10 mail

Now, from any box in the company I can hit the webservs fine at www.primary.tcc and admin.primary.tcc

What I want to do is set up other doamins (like www.secondary.tcc, admin.secondary.tcc, www.somedomain.tcc, etc.) located on other boxes, using the main nameserver. I know how to set up the Apache virtual hosts for this, but I just can't get the name server to work right. Normally, I would read, and mess around with it until I got it, but it took me since thursday to get the nameserver working for the primary domain, and I'm on a deadline (not to mention the fact that I'm a programmer, and not an admin). Is there someone out there who knows how I need to configure this? Thanks.
