Doing my final year project on DNS Server using RedHat 9.

Can anyone explain 2 me wot that mean when I have to modify the named.conf file

zone "somefakedomain.com" IN {
type master;
file "somefakedomain.com.zone";
allow-update { none; };

What is that somefakedomain.com

Thx

I doubt anyone here will help you much. The whole point of Uni is to prove you can think for yourself, and the IT industry doesn't need more graduates that can't. Good luck, I think you're going to need a lot of it.

It's exactly what it says it is... some_fake_domain.com... make something up, but ensure it doesn't exist.

My friends 7 year old looked up from his psp and just explained that to me :lol:

if you want to create your own DNS server then use the IP address of your machine only.
one more thing , what about the reverse and forward lookup file and your named.conf file. Are you done with the configuration of these files also.

Don't look at me, I was tempted to write a page or two full of nonsense just to waste time but my conscience got the better of me again.
