- <FORM>
- <H2>Configuring the Domain Name Server</H2>
- <P>
- A domain name server can function as a primary name server,
- which contains a local file of domain information and is the authoritative
- name server for a domain; a secondary name server, which copies domain name
- information from the primary name server; or a client, which requests domain
- information. As conditions on the network change, you might need to add new DNS
- servers to the name server hierarchy.
- <P>
- Use the Configure Domain Name Server form to set these DNS parameters:
- <P>
- <STRONG>Enable DNS server:</STRONG> This selection turns the
- DNS name server daemon <EM>named</EM> on or off. Select <VAR>Yes</VAR>
- to turn the name server on, and select<VAR>No</VAR> to turn the
- name server off.
- </P>
- (Default value: No)
- <P>
- <STRONG>Add New Domain</STRONG> This field specifies a new domain for which
- this system will act as a name server. Enter the name of a new domain, then
- click the <VAR>Add New Domain</VAR> button to display the Add New Domain form.
- After you complete the Add New Domain form, click the <VAR>Ok</VAR> button to
- add the new domain to the list of supported domains for this name server.
- </P>
- (Default value: none)
- <P>
- <STRONG>Edit Selected Domain</STRONG> The list beside this button
- contains the names of domains that were entered from the Add Domain field
- (above). Select a domain name from the list and click the
- <VAR>Edit Selected Domain</VAR> button to display the Edit Domain form.
- Make changes in the form, then click the <VAR>Ok</VAR> button to
- put the changes in effect.
- </P>
- (Default value: none)
- <P>
- <STRONG>Delete Selected Domain</STRONG> Select a domain name from the list
- beside this button to remove a domain name from the list. When you
- finish removing names, click the <VAR>Ok</VAR> button to put the changes
- in effect.
- </P>
- (Default value: none)
- <P>
- <STRONG>Domain name:</STRONG> On the Add or Edit form, this field displays
- the name of the domain that you are adding or changing. The field is not editable.
- <P>
- <STRONG>Other servers to contact if name cannot be resolved:</STRONG> This list
- contains addresses of name servers to which requests will be forwarded if they
- contain names for which this server has no domain data. To add entries to the
- list, enter an Internet address and press the <I>Enter</I> key. Use dotted
- decimal (such as 11.22.33.44) or hexadecimal (such as 0x11223344) notation
- in your entries.
- </P>
- (Default value: none)
- <P>
- <STRONG>Limit contact hosts to above:</STRONG> When <VAR>named</VAR> returns
- information, it also returns the address of the system that provided the
- information. If you select <VAR>Yes</VAR>, when this server receives a
- requests for information about a domain for which it is neither a primary
- nor a secondary name server, the request will always be forwarded to the
- hosts listed in the previous entry. If you select <VAR>No</VAR>, this server
- will contact the provider name server directly.
- </P>
- (Default value: No)
- <P>
- <STRONG>Name server type:</STRONG> This entry specifies whether this
- server is the primary or secondary name server for this domain.
- For a primary name server, specify the data file location.
- To change a server type (from a primary to secondary or vice versa),
- remove the domain and re-add it as the new type.
- </P>
- (Default value: none)
- <P>
- <STRONG>File name for domain information:</STRONG> This field contains
- the name of the file that contains domain data. On a primary server,
- this file is either edited locally or generated from the local hosts file.
- On a secondary server, this is the location of the data file that will be
- copied from the primary server.
- </P>
- (Default value: none)
- <P>
- <STRONG>List of server addresses:</STRONG> For secondary name servers only.
- This is a list of host addresses from which the data file may be copied.
- The list can contain the addresses of the primary name server or other
- secondary name servers for this domain; but for best performance, the
- address of the primary should appear first. To add entries to the list,
- enter an IP address and press <I>Enter</I> until all server addresses appear
- in the list.
