How do I make my internal dns forward requests to a given server
- by ankimal
We have a DNS server internally that looks up IP addresses for all internal hosts and connects to root dns servers for all other domains (the rest of the internet). Here is my config
options {
listen-on port 53 { 127.0.0.1;any; };
listen-on-v6 port 53 { ::1; };
directory "/var/named";
dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
memstatistics-file "/var/named/data/named_mem_stats.txt";
allow-query {192.168.1.0/24; 127.0.0.1; };
recursion yes;
};
logging {
channel default_debug {
file "data/named.run";
severity dynamic;
};
};
view “internal” { // What the home network will see
match-clients { 127.0.0.1;any; };
match-destinations { 127.0.0.1;any; };
recursion yes;
zone "." IN {
type hint;
file "named.ca";
};
include "internal_zones.conf";
};
We need to tweak this to go to our ISPs dns, x.y.z.w instead of the root dns servers if the host cannot be resolved internally.
