DNS Master

Network

We will give the DNS master a static IP-address. Edit /etc/networking/interfaces and make the following changes.

# The primary network interface
#allow-hotplug eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.36
        network 192.168.1.0
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast 192.168.1.255
        gateway 192.168.1.1

Install BIND

apt-get install bind9

Configure BIND

Stop BIND

service bind9 stop

Make BIND listen

edit /etc/bind/named.conf.options and add

listen-on { any; };

Make a DDNS update key

We are going to let the DHCP server update BIND. For this we need an update key. Create it with the following command. Remember that entrophy must be available for the key to be generated, you can check available entrophy in /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail.

dnssec-keygen -a HMAC-SHA512 -b 512 -n HOST kallenberg.dk

This will create two files with filenames equivalent to Kkallenberg.dk.+165+38700.private and Kkallenberg.dk.+165+38700.key. The latter is your public key, which will be used by the DCHP server to update BIND. Create the file /etc/bind/ddns-update.kallenberg.dk and put your public key inside it.

key "ddns-update" {
        algorithm hmac-sha512;
        secret "yYFzfibvlpS33+vsngV2jF5tGkTiVSjhYoFuV0T7bnCVfFGx3Mu05SW+LakImdofkNM00LxHCLuvD1W1vSWMmA==";
};

Make sure BIND can read /etc/bind/ddns-update.kallenberg.dk.

chown root:bind /etc/bind/ddns-update.kallenberg.dk

Create a new zone

/etc/bind/named.conf.kallenberg.dk

# Key used by DHCP servers for dynamic DNS updates
include "/etc/bind/ddns-update.kallenberg.dk";

zone "kallenberg.dk" {
        type master;
        file "/var/lib/bind/kallenberg.dk.zone";
        allow-transfer { 192.168.1.37; };
        allow-update { key "ddns-update"; };
};

zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "/var/lib/bind/1.168.192.zone";
        allow-transfer { 192.168.1.37; };
        allow-update { key "ddns-update"; };
};

Add the new zone file to /etc/bind/named.conf.local

include "/etc/bind/named.conf.kallenberg.dk";

/var/lib/bind/kallenberg.dk.zone

Start BIND

Finally start the service again

service bind9 start
