Setting up a DNS name server for a mass virtual host with Bind9
- by Dez
I am trying to set up a chrooted DNS name server in a local LAN like this everyone connected in the LAN can have access to the mass virtual hosts defined for a development ambience without having to edit manually their local /etc/hosts one by one. The mass virtual host is named example.user.dev (VirtualDocumentRoot /home/user/example ) and example.test (DocumentRoot /var/www/example).
I set up everything and the /var/log/syslog doesn't show any error, but when checking the DNS with:
host -v example.test
Doesn't find the host. Also using the dig command I don't receive answer.
dig -x example.test
; << DiG 9.5.1-P3 << -x imprimere
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:

My configuration is the following:
/etc/bind/named.conf.local
zone "example.test" {
type master;
allow-query { any; };
file "/etc/bind/zones/master_example.test";
notify yes;
};
zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
allow-query { any; };
file "/etc/bind/zones/master_1.168.192.in-addr.arpa";
notify yes;
};
/etc/bind/named.conf.options
Note: We have an static IP address so I forward the querys to DNS server to said IP address.
options{
directory "/var/cache/bind";
forwarders { 80.34.100.160; };
auth-nxdomain no;
listen-on-v6 { any; };
};
/etc/bind/zones/master_example.test
$ORIGIN example.test.
$TTL 86400

/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost example
192.168.1.52 localhost example example.test
/etc/resolv.conf
Note: For Bind I just added the 3 last lines.
nameserver 80.58.0.33
nameserver 80.58.61.250
nameserver 80.58.61.254
search example.test
search example
