DNS Server in Astaro?

Hi,

I was thinking that it would be nice to have a DNS server available in my Astaro? Is this just a crazy idea or what?

I really don't want to have a dedicated machine to run my DNS for a small business and I rather NOT have my DC manage this if at all possible. It would also be nice so that if resolves all the IP's in my Astaro to names in the DHCP leases.

Thoughts...

Hey , Mike!

The slowness may be caused by DNS requests going to the root nameservers. We discussed DNS Best Practices here last year, and the recommendations looked like what's in this thread...
DHCP by Microsoft pointing to internal DNS servers, then Astaro, then OpenDNS (or ISP or other)

DNS: internal DNS Servers point at Astaro, then OpenDNS (or ISP or other); Astaro points at OpenDNS (or ISP or other)
Astaro DNS Allowed networks: Internal (Network) and other local networks

Astaro DNS Request Routing: rDNS for internal subnets as suggested in this thread and DNS for local domains on Internal DNS.

Cheers - Bob
