I'm replacing Caching and Forwarding DNS server (called CS) in Bind 9.16.23 which forwards all client queries to specific server Z.
My doubts: 1) This CS server doesn't use root server so I can delete in named.conf this section ? zone "." IN { type hint; file "named.ca"; }; 2) the original named.rfc1912.zones file contains these zones: ------------------------------------------------- zone "localhost.localdomain" IN { type master; file "named.localhost"; allow-update { none; }; }; zone "localhost" IN { type master; file "named.localhost"; allow-update { none; }; }; zone "1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.arpa" IN { type master; file "named.loopback"; allow-update { none; }; }; zone "1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "named.loopback"; allow-update { none; }; }; zone "0.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "named.empty"; allow-update { none; }; }; ------------------------------------------------- My old file contains the same entries, excluded zone "1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.arpa, and It includes the followind extra ones: zone "127.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "db.127"; }; zone "255.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "db.255"; }; file db.255 $TTL 604800 @ IN SOA localhost. root.localhost. ( 1 ; Serial 604800 ; Refresh 86400 ; Retry 2419200 ; Expire 604800 ) ; Negative Cache TTL ; @ IN NS localhost. file db.127 $TTL 604800 @ IN SOA localhost. root.localhost. ( 1 ; Serial 604800 ; Refresh 86400 ; Retry 2419200 ; Expire 604800 ) ; Negative Cache TTL ; @ IN NS localhost. 1.0.0 IN PTR localhost. What do you think ? I can delete both "127.in-addr.arpa" and "255.in-addr.arpa"zones ? And about "1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.arpa zone ? I have t keep it ? Thanks
