Dear Skunks i want to implement DNS on a MPLS network , i want to use my Ubuntu server as the main DNS server. Is there anything is should look out for? or would it work just the same as if it was on a LAN setup? -- GG
DNS does not give a hoot of what your connectivity network is as long as it is reachable. I suggest you read more about DNS since your question suggests you don't understand it much ./Ok3ch On Tue, Mar 8, 2016 at 9:07 AM, geoffrey gitagia via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

@Okechu , i understand the basics , that is what it does and the advantages , but i've always used next - next to set it up , so yes im no expert in DNS. Also i want to effect BIOS name , and just wanted to know if just setting the DNS server will sort this out too. On Tue, Mar 8, 2016 at 9:20 AM, Okechukwu <okechukwu@gmail.com> wrote:

Take it from me, DNS does not care about the underlying network architecture. Rule for DNS is that it should be reachable by the hosts querying it and it should reach the Internet to do recursive queries. What exactly do you mean by BIOS name?

I'mm not particularly interested with internet , but my MPLS IP's . So it should serve requests for network A to network B and vice versa On Tue, Mar 8, 2016 at 9:37 AM, Okechukwu <okechukwu@gmail.com> wrote:

The you should implement something called views on the DNS. A default named install will need internet access to do recursive queries but with views you can specific how queries from network A get answered to names on network B - Its pretty straight forward. ./Ok3ch On Tue, Mar 8, 2016 at 9:40 AM, geoffrey gitagia <ggitagia@gmail.com> wrote:

The DNS in your context i think is ambiguous, you mean netbios names [local] that may have some challenges passing via routed networks since the names are obtained in a broadcast domain. Maybe WINs <https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc784180%28v=ws.10%29.aspx> can break that [not windows fan anyway] or map name to an IP on remote networks using hosts file OR as you prefer local domain with zone entry for each host on the extended network. Remember to set/force PC on network to use this DNS server. MPLS will pass all traffic unless filtered. Kind Regards, Wilson./
Thanks Wilson My problem seems to be way bigger than DNS . But yes WINS would be the ideal solution. On Tue, Mar 8, 2016 at 1:11 PM, Thuo Wilson <lixton@gmail.com> wrote:

Si you just use AD to do all this for you? You said you setup your DNS using next->next->next, which smells of Windows:) On 8 March 2016 at 13:48, geoffrey gitagia via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

You can learn how to setup (hands on) a DNS cache on FreeBSD and Ubuntu: https://www.internetsociety.org/what-we-do/inforum-learn-online/inforum-cour... The theory also covers DNS Authoritative servers and a thorough explanation of how DNS works plus associated RFCs Regards Kevin On Tue, Mar 8, 2016 at 2:17 PM, Odhiambo Washington via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:
