I am trying to learn how to use dns server "named" on Fedora to create subdomains. Have only a little knowledge how to do it... All manual pages I found on the question, are very complicated. So I am searching for some short examples, and maybe ways to checks them. Here is my named.conf:
/etc/named.conf:
//
// named.conf
//
// Provided by Red Hat bind package to configure the ISC BIND named(8) DNS
// server as a caching only nameserver (as a localhost DNS resolver only).
//
// See /usr/share/doc/bind*/sample/ for example named configuration files.
//
options {
listen-on port 53 { 127.0.0.1; };
listen-on-v6 port 53 { ::1; };
directory "/var/named";
dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
memstatistics-file "/var/named/data/named_mem_stats.txt";
allow-query { localhost; };
recursion yes; };
logging {
channel default_debug {
file "data/named.run";
severity dynamic;
};
};
zone "." IN {
type hint;
file "named.ca"; };
include "/etc/named.rfc1912.zones";
zone "ursa.org.ua" {
type master;
file "/var/named/ursa.org.ua";
};
zone "j-in.org.ua" {
type master;
file "/var/named/j-in.org.ua";
};
zone "pravozahist.in.ua" {
type master;
file "/var/named/pravozahist.in.ua";
};
zone "media.j-in.org.ua" {
type master;
file "/var/named/media.j-in.org.ua";
};
And also:
Output of cat /var/named/media.j-in.org.ua
$TTL 3600
media.j-in.org.ua. IN SOA ns1.IDENT.vds.colocall.com. root.oplot.vds.colocall.com. (2009101700 10800 3600 604800 86400)
media.j-in.org.ua. IN NS ns1.IDENT.vds.colocall.com.
media.j-in.org.ua. IN NS ns2.IDENT.vds.colocall.com.
media.j-in.org.ua. IN MX 10 mail
media.j-in.org.ua. IN MX 20 mail
media.j-in.org.ua. IN A 62.149.25.66
www IN A 62.149.25.66
ftp IN A 62.149.25.66
mail IN A 62.149.25.66
smtp IN A 62.149.25.66
pop IN A 62.149.25.66
media.j-in.org.ua. IN TXT "v=spf1 ip4:62.149.25.66 a mx ~all"
So where should I start from to add a new subdomain, for already registered domain name. for example, I tried to add media.j-in.org.ua, but don't know how to check if it's added?
Thanks for explanation.
Does this mean that subdomain is added?
-bash-3.2$ dig media.j-in.org.ua
; <<>> DiG 9.5.1-P1-RedHat-9.5.1-1.P1.fc10 <<>> media.j-in.org.ua
