Folks,
I currently have a Microsoft win2k3 DNS server that is authorative (sp) for about 25 registered domains. I am registered w/Godaddy, and they point to bsc.bsc-online.net. the 2 backups are at frontiernet.net.
auth01.roc.ny.frontiernet.net & auth.lkv.mn.frontiernet.net.
I have a T1 from frontier communications w/128 ip's and have a linux web server, a windows mail server, and the windows DNS server as mentioned above.
right or wrong, i have configured an Ubuntu Dapper Drake server following the How to Forge pefect setup tutorial, and installed bind9 per said tutorial.
What i would like to do is repalce my win2k3 DNS server with a linux one.
Todate, i have been directed to a number of artcles about the named.conf, named.conf.options, and zone files, but cannot seem to see clearly what goes where.
Most of what i read smacks of the flavor of local dns and i need internet dns.
Additionall, i have a copy of the zone records out of the backup frontier name servers, but with no reference to the files that they are in.
Right now, my Ubunto server is running on my home/test private network and i see no problem with giving it a public ip address, but the details of the bind9 file structure are kicking my @$$.
Is this forum the right place to get real examples of which files to edit, and create for my name servers and zone name files to support my A,MX,cname, etc., records?
