Who here runs their own DNS

Is it a pain in the ass to configure? Seems a little complicated to me.

Can you point me to some easy howtos that you've got bookmarked?


Thanks!!

Use WebMin to manage your DNS, it makes it quite straightforward. If you still think it is too complicated using WebMin, you probably shouldn't be maintaining your own DNS.

If you have to use a control panel you shouldnt be running your own server

thanks for the smartass comment. I was looking for a howto, and I am sure even YOU had to learn at some point.

Thanks for the link though, I'll check it out

Why dont you go google for DNS HOWTO instead of coming on here and setting yourself up for smartass comments?

You're right..i had to learn and i did learn but had i been using a control panel i'd still be as clueless as you...

Here is the best peice of advice i can give you....

Learn how to do everything without using the control panel so you actually understand how things work...THEN, once you have the basic understanding go ahead and use your control panel to make things easier..

DNS in itself is not difficult at all. The thing that makes it difficult, in my own experience, is when you read a lot of articles about it and one saying that and another one saying something else.

If you want to learn about DNS and how it really works and on how to run your own DNS server, buy the book DNS and Bind from O'Really. It's the best. A step by step guide explaining how DNS works, what it does and how to set up your own DNS server(s).
