Download h2n.tar.gz in the shared folder from ftp://ftp.hpl.hp.com/pub/h2n/h2n.tar.gz//// - Copy & extract h2n.tar.gz in /tmp
root #cp /hgfs/shared/h2n.tar.gz /tmp;cd /tmp;gunzip h2n.tar.gz;tar -xvf h2n.tar
- Create /var/named directory & copy h2n as root
root # mkdir -p /var/named
root # cp /tmp/h2n-2.56/h2n /var/named
- Create DNS configuration files on vmutil
root# cd /var/named
root# ./h2n -d central.sun.com -n 10.80.189 172.16.1 -u hostmaster.central.sun.com
Above command will generate the below files in /var/named directory
- Download "named.root" file from ftp://ftp.rs.internic.net/domain
root# cp named.root /var/named/db.cache
root# cp /var/named/named.conf /etc/
-- Edit /etc/nsswitch.files to add the entry dns to the host entry as
"hosts: files dns"
---log--
passwd: files
group: files
hosts: files dns
ipnodes: files
---log--
- Create or Edit a file called /etc/defaultdomain and add the single entry
root# echo "mydom.com" > /etc/defaultdomain
- Edit /etc/resolv.conf on vmutil
root# echo "domain mydom.com" >> /etc/resolv.conf
root# echo "nameserver 10.80.189.29" >> /etc/resolv.conf
- Restart the named service on vmutil.
root# svcadm disable dns/server;svcadm enable dns/server
- Verify if DNS is working (forward & reverse lookup)
