Install and configure BIND on Linux

Build DNS server which resolves domain name or IP address. Install bind and caching-nameserver for it. And it's also neccessary to configure router so that TCP and UDP packets to 53 can pass through.

1. Install BIND
[root@ns ~]#
yum -y install bind caching-nameserver
2. Configure BIND
This example is done with grobal IP address [172.16.0.80/29], Private IP address [192.168.0.0/24], Domain name [server-linux.info]. However, Please use your own IPs and domain name when you set config on your server. ( Actually, [172.16.0.80/29] is for private IP address, though. )

# *note : For How to write for reverse resolving, Write network address reversely like below.

the case for 192.168.0.0/24
network address
⇒ 192.168.0.0

range of network
⇒ 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.0.255

how to write
⇒ 0.168.192.in-addr.arpa


case of 172.16.0.80/29
network address
⇒ 172.16.0.80

range of network
⇒ 172.16.0.80 - 172.16.0.87

how to write
⇒ 80.0.16.172.in-addr.arpa
