What is DNS ?
DNS stands for Domain Name Service/Server.Now what is the use of Dns server in a network .Now again a question comes in our mind that is wheather we use dns in a workgroup or in a client server design of network, so the right answer is we can use dns in any network design.
Now the main concern is what is dns all about or why one should go for dns in a network design.
DNS is actually a name database which store name to ip records.Name can be a computer name,website name or alias or cname etc.
Now to configure DNS or BIND server in RHEL5 first you need to install some packages in your RHEL pc.
list of packages are:-
1. bind-9.2.2.P3-9.i386.rpm (version depends on your rhel you are using.)
2. bind-chroot* (* means any version number depend Rhel you are using).
Now to install these packages you need to use rpm command or yum if you have yum sever in your network or on local system.
rpm command will be like as follows:-
rpm -ivh bind-9.2.2.P3-9.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh bind-chroot*
