Single server DNS solution
- Installing djbdns itself -

Now we will install djbdns, the core of our dns server. Once djbdns is installed, we will then setup the 2 services we wish to run: tinydns (the authoritative name server) and dnscache (the caching nameserver).

So let's install djbdns...

1. cd /downloads/djbdnsrocks

2. tar zxvf djbdns-1.05.tar.gz

3. cd djbdns-1.05

Redhat users insert the following step...

To accomodate for the newer glibc package that comes with newer linux distros, you will need to apply to following patch before compiling djbdns:

patch < /downloads//djbdnsrocks/djbdns_errnopatch

Viola! All patched!

Now compile/install it...

4. make

You will see a bunch of stuff fly by on the screen. This is normal. ;)

5. make setup check

A successful "make setup check" will produce the following output:

./install
./instcheck

Wow, that was easy! A successful installation will install djbdns and all its tools into /usr/local/bin. Now let's setup tinydns and dnscache.

 

Proceed to step 4
