Append to /etc/named.conf the following lines:
zone "your_local_domain_name" {
type master;
notify no;
file "filename_relative_to_/var/named";
}
zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
notify no;
file "rev-filename_relative_to_/var/named";
}
assuming that your masqueraded network base address is 192.168.1.0
Create a zone file named as the given filename in the 4th line you
appended to /etc/named.conf. Syntax of the zone file is described in
DNS-HOWTO.
Create a reverse zone file named as in the 10th line you appended to
/etc/named.conf.
You need to create A records in the forward zone, and PTR records in
the reverse-zone, and SOA records in both.
