My intention was to use it as both DNS and DHCP-server. But I have
started with only DNS. My /etc/resolv.conf had the IP of my other
DNS-server, and a search domain. I put the values in some directory in
/etc/resolvconf/..../base
I was unable to ping the outside world using anything else than
IP-adresses. I was able to ping my local workstations (about 15-20
machines). The workstations were configured in /etc/hosts.
Since my intention is to replace the old DNS-server which uses BIND, and
have a new shiny DNS, i figured out that I probably must continue to use
BIND since dnsmasq is only a caching DNS. Right?
So, am I stuck with BIND then?
Indeed not.
There are *other* alternatives out there for your solution. MyDNS is an
mysql driven dns server. MyDNS does not include recursive name service,
nor a resolver library.
Below are the link to the main MyDNS website, and one link to a great
howto on howtoforge, which should give you enough information to base
your opinion on.
