<0> in the whois info for .com domains, the "Record created/last updated/expires" dates... are they UTC?
<1> What is the best way to do this? I want to setup a forward that forwards like www.mydomain.tld to myhosting.site/~username , can you point me in the right direction?
<2> Spzow3, you need to do that in your webserver... dns doesn't understand usernames
<1> Well, the nameservers isn't on the same site as the apache server
<3> can anyone tell me or show me an exmaple configuration of a solid dns configuration
<3> i just want to get the most out of bind and i want to make sure dns caching is workin
<3> g
<3> i also have a small problem when i do rndc reload or rndc flush, I dont think its working but how can i be sure
<3> and if its not working why and how can i fix it?
<4> what happens when you do it?
<4> doe rndc at least return without error?
<4> err, does
<3> no, no errors
<4> good.
<4> now, why do you feel it is not working?
<3> well rndc flush might work
<3> but rndc reload doesnt forsure
<4> what happens? how can you tell?
<3> cause if i make changes to a zone and change the serial then do rndc reload
<3> the change doesnt take effect
<3> i have to restart bind
<4> is your bind in a chroot? if so did your changes occur in the chroot, or did you copy them there?
<3> no chroot
<4> is anything logged as a result of ''rndc reload some.zone''?
<3> not that i see
<3> twkm: could you tell me how i can check if bind is doing dns cachng or not?
<4> bind always does caching.
<4> if nothing is logged, then rndc must have failed.
<3> twkm: is there anyway to make bind very efficent, as in getting the best performance thus giving the local network better performance?
<4> why do you feel it is inefficient?
<3> well
<3> the other day i ran ettercap and noticed a few udp dns packets
<3> and they were actually going out to the internet
<4> naturally.
<3> and it was a site that should've been cached cause its hit all the time from our local network
<3> naturally?
<3> but if bind does caching
<3> it should've been cached right?
<4> things timeout and must be re-fetched.
<3> how can i define a higher timeout?
<4> the owner of the data sets the timeout.
<3> oh
<3> so my basic dns setup is pretty efficent?
<4> you can set an upper limit, but not a lower.
<4> hard to say without other info. but bind itself is pretty efficient.
<3> hrmm
<3> ya works pretty well
<3> hrmm
<3> is there anyway i can setup entries for other domains
<3> say like
<3> i want foobar.google.com to point to 192.168.1.168
<3> can i do that with bind?
<4> yes, though it is usually a mistake.
<3> i understand when it could be a mistake
<3> espcially when a site like google for instance if i ping google.com get the ip address and setup an entry to always go to that ip that be bad
<4> named.conf: zone "foobar.google.com" in { type master; file "google-foobar"; };
<3> oh i see
<4> google-foobar: @ soa ..., @ ns ..., @ whatever record
<3> so wouldn't it be a good idea if i know that ip will always be the same?
<4> how will you know google will never change it? or if you are using a name google isn't currently using, how do you know they won't being using it?
<4> anyway, i don't much care if you **** yourself, go right ahead, i've already shown you how.
<3> heheh
<3> i was using google as an example
<3> espcially since they use clusters and several different ips
<3> so when you hit google.com its not always the same ip or same machine
<3> but what if i was positive that the domain id be setting an entry for on my local dns would always be the same
<3> or if it did change what if i was the first one to know?
<3> then would it be a good idea? wouldn't it be faster?
<4> someone i think you are micro optimizing where little can be gained.
<3> ahh i see
<3> guess you're right not really a big gain
<5> hi all, if I have a /20 of IP adddresses, can I delegate the Reverse records for a /23 to one of my clients without access to the zone file of the original /16?
