I think the main new feature in 9.10 is response rate limiting. From: Josh Baird via Af Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2014 8:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] DNS server for guys who dont want to be gurus
You can if you use third party packages, but you don't need to unless you need a specific version beyond 9.9. If you run native CentOS bind packages and keep them up to date you will (read: should) be safe from any security vulnerabilities.

But first step is to download/compile/install the latest version of BIND, it’s actually quite easy. I doubt you can get the version you want via yum update because CentOS is based on RHEL which is always a few steps behind. Given the DNS attacks, you want the latest BIND. You might then want to lock out the package from being updated by yum.

We have one master, one slave server I have never set up bind, this was done before me. If I were to take down the old slave server and bring this one up on its IP will the master update this one, or is there a config I need to move over. Im more comfotable doing the slave first. These are all webmin, but the original is ubuntu and the new is centos On Thu, Oct 2, 2014 at 2:00 PM, Paul Stewart via Af <[email protected]> wrote: I always install CentOS bare bones …. “minimal server” is what the installation will call it. This way you can install whatever you like after installation and not worry about removing many dozen packages you don’t need… Just my preference anyways….

It would be nice if it had the option to set up client accounts for some clients to manage their own DNS but not view others, but thats in no way a deal breaker -- All parts should go together without forcing.
