Hi There Been using the BQ Cent OS on 2 servers with DNS I have 3 other DNS's ... 5 all told I may add a 6 in the next few weeks DNS to me is the easy part..... I just had to change 2 DNS IP's because my co lo provider changed Backbone providers.... Fun..Fun... Be sure you have the IP/Name in your registrar and you need 2 DNS's as a minimum and you should have dns's on different classes of IP address... I have DNS's on Cable Modems, ADSL and a T3.... You could run a DNS from a dial up because the data needed is in the bytes size... Once a DNS is working ...it will run by it's self I have even used TreeWalk DNS if you do not mind the use of notepad to set it up.... Drawback..... If you get someone PO at you they can take you off the net by doing a DDOS attack against your DNS's and get your provider PO at you.... But they could flood your pipe just by flooding your web server. Franklin S. Werren www.bagpipes.net www.chautauqualake.net www.chautauqua.us My 2 cents: Never get caught between 2 Tier 1 ISP's in a pissing match!! The Net will loose every time!!! -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of Thomas E Dukes Sent: Sunday, June 25, 2006 1:25 PM To: CentOS Subject: [CentOS] DNS Server Hello, I have recently switched from having a dynamic IP address and using a DNS service like zoneedit and dyndns to having a static IP address. How do I stop having to use these DNS services and use my own? I tried changing the DNS servers at my registrar but it won't accept my server.
