Spelling: DNS
Acronym for Domain Name System [1].
Contents:
* New DNS System [2]
* Local configuration [3]
* Future enhancements [4]
* Old DNS System [5]
NEW DNS SYSTEM
mr-russ [6] and dcoles [7] have been setting a new DNS system that
automatically extracts DNS entries from the Melbourne Wireless
database. To add an entry, simply edit your node details [8] and
select the entry typee and enter the IP address under Services.
Queries can take the form
_SERVICE_._NODE_.node.melbournewireless.org.au or
_IP_._NODE_.node.melbournewireless.org.au (used for reverse DNS). For
example, 'www.jqy.node.melbournewireless.org.au' will resolve to
10.10.133.83.
At present this is running on node JQY [9] and is accessible through
203.29.53.3 (or 10.10.133.83 on network).
LOCAL CONFIGURATION
Forward DNS should be handled automatically by the public DNS system
(node.melbournewireless.org.au should be delegated to this server). If
you would like to use the reverse DNS features you will have to set up
your system to directly query the server.
This can be done by editing '/etc/resolv.conf':
# Search path (optional) # Allows you to specify names like
'www.dcoles.node' rather than requiring the the full entry search
melbournewireless.org.au
# Query the Melbourne Wireless nameserver first nameserver
10.10.133.83 #nameserver 203.29.53.1 # Alternative, public address
# Default nameserver - server to handle all other requests nameserver
8.8.8.8 # Insert your DNS server here!
FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS
* Using hostnames for forward/reverse entries
* DNS-SD
* Handle multiple service entries
OLD DNS SYSTEM
Here is what i have setup at node fut.
now i dont have to guess which node has which ip.
DOMAIN NAME SERVER.
here is a list of domain names to ip address
only available if you set your computer or bind server to have
10.10.129.150 in its dns list.
If you want me to add your node or any other dns you want to an ip
send me an email in this format:
dns.name (main ip) (other ip address if you have more than 1 network
card this will be used for reverse lookups)
to: ivile(at)but.st or ivile01(at)yahoo.com.au
