How about these reasons: http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/blurb/easeofuse.html ?
And yes, it doesen't come with CentOS but there are .rpms available around the net, like here: http://djbware.csi.hu/
Is there a tinydns or dns wizard that could give me some hints, please?
I am setting up and testing tinydns, but have some problems figuring out how to route. I do get dnscache to listen on tinydns. Also I do not understand why it will not answer the given ip (127.0.0.1) to the name server.
http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/dnscache.html at the bottom: Special names, I quote:
"dnscache handles localhost internally, giving it an A record of 127.0.0.1.
dnscache handles 1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa internally, giving it a PTR record of localhost.
dnscache handles dotted-decimal domain names internally, giving (e.g.) the domain name 192.48.96.2 an A record of 192.48.96.2)"
- Both services are up running and seems to be working fine, so why no
reply, (on the first query/reply below)?
.test.example.net:127.0.0.1:a:259200 .1.168.192.in-addr.arpa:127.0.0.1:a:259200 =server1.test.example.net:192.168.1.102:86400
Simple. Because you did not set an IP address for test.example.net. You should add this to your data file:
=test.example.net:192.168.1.102:86400
- I am behind a firewall/router and have dynamic ip address from my
isp. Can I set up the name server to be dynamic or how can I solve this by routing?
Services like those offered by no-ip.com or dyndns.com might be better suited for this kind of setup.
Hope it helps, Alex
