 | View Full Version : DNS Server Christoph 06-29-2001, 11:31 AM I'd like to setup my own DNS server. Does Linux (any flavor) comes with a DNS application like Win2K does? Also - Where would I be able to find a how to guide to setup MX records, pointers, etc.? ServerRackNet 06-29-2001, 11:46 AM Your best bet is to install bind and use that to setup DNS. O'Reilly has a really good book on what you're looking at called "DNS and Bind" ;-) Thats MHO anyhow. Madman2020 07-04-2001, 03:06 AM DNS/bind on Linux servers are not to hard to setup. You just have to understand how DNS works in general. But extremely reliable.
