<> == New Nameserver == When adding a new nameserver to hcoop.net, or changing the values of `ns[12].hcoop.net` '''update the glue records at our registrar'''. Otherwise, `hcoop.net` may stop resolving. == Config == For Debian Squeeze, we're using the stock bind9 configuration. You'll need to open up a firewall port to serve dns. = Filesystem layout = On both deleuze and mire, BIND data lives in `/etc/bind`. This directory is seeded with the default files from the Debian `bind9` package. Additionally, we add a `zones` subdirectory. DomTool periodically deposits `/etc/bind/named.conf.local`, listing all of our hosted DNS zones and their master/slave statuses and configuration. DomTool also populates `/etc/bind/zones` with zonefiles referenced by `/etc/bind/named.conf.local` on any master servers. == Permissions == `/etc/bind/zones` should be owned by user `bind`, since BIND seems to like creating temporary files there. I've only yet seen this matter during updating of slave zone information. ---- CategorySystemAdministration
