DNS Slave

Network

Since looking up the DNS servers IP-address does not make any sense, we will give the DNS server a statc 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 192.168.1.35
        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

Make BIND listen

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

listen-on { any; };
allow-notify { 192.168.1.35; };

Get the DDNS update key

Get the key from the master and save it in /etc/bind/ddns-update.dnskey.

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

Create a new zone

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

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

zone "kallenberg.dk" {
        type slave;
        file "/var/lib/bind/kallenberg.dk.zone";
        allow-transfer { 192.168.1.34; };
        allow-update { key "ddns-update"; };
};

zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
        type slave;
        file "/var/lib/bind/1.168.192.zone";
        allow-transfer { 192.168.1.34; };
        allow-update { key "ddns-update"; };
};

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

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