Help setting up a DNS server in win2003 (I have a domain)
Hi,
I recently bought a domain, and i have access to the zone file through SSH.
It's set to use the dns servers to the company i bought the domain from, but i added some A records (www,mail,ftp...) and pointed them to my IP.
But I want to set up my own DNS server, on my own server.
How can I do this, and connect the domain to this DNS server?
How should i configure the zone file of my excisting domain? Should i just delete everything except the dns server (and of course the refresh,serial values etc), and specify my IP as the DNS server?
And how should i setup the DNS server? I set ut a forward lookup zone, and setup SOA (server.domain.tld) and NS (server.domain.tld).
In the DNS server properties I set "Forwarders" to "All other DNS domains" to my ISP's DNS servers.
Is this correct?
A little info about my setup:
Modem (Static IP = 82.101.xx.xx) --> Router --> LAN --> Server (10.0.0.2) and the rest of the computers.
As far as I understand, if I setup my own DNS server, i can point subdomains straight to the different IP's on my local LAN? (e.g setup geezuzz.domain.tld point straight to my computer (10.0.0.3))?
