ASL beta (as well as 3.2x) uses BIND to perform the DNS forwarding duties, right? I'm a novice to configuring BIND, so bear with me. What edits, and where, do I have to make to the named.conf-default file and what new files do I need to create in ./zones? It seems like such a waste to have a whole machine for DNS when I only have about 8 machines to work with. for example: what would I have to do to be able to ping machine1.private.home and have ASL return the IP of that machine?
There may be better ways, but this was how I solved it.
1. Edit the templates to match what you need. 2. Create a new folder called my-zones/ in the same directory as the asl zones/ is. (ASL removes unknown files on restart so adding them to the zones/ directory would not work) 3. Add your zone files into my-zones/ just like normal bind. 4. Restart firewall, middleware or disable-enable named from webmin
The thing to remember is that conf files will be reset on every restart,etc.. so you have to edit the templates where possible, and add new directory files if needed.
Hi all, this is only a post to keep this task alive and ask for a statement of astaro, maybe you could add dns-server to webadmin of V5. ASL is not only useable as firewall, if this feature would be in asl then i put two asl-boxes yust as a high secure dns-server into my dmz and i mean not at home i mean this as a enterprise user who will pay for the license.
