Hey everyone,
Recently I my ISP appears to have had a DNS outage and it got me
thinking, maybe I should run a DNS server here locally for the
computers on my own LAN.
Has anyone on the list tried doing it? If so what was your
experience. What hardware/software did you run. Did it end up
working well?
If you are talking about a caching-only DNS server, it's more than worth
it.
And it's literally this easy( on a fedora based distro )
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# yum install caching-nameserver
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# /etc/init.d/named start
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# chkconfig named on
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# cat /etc/resolv.conf
search friocorte.com
nameserver 127.0.0.1
Cool!, no?
If you are talking about Authoritive DNS then use something like
opendns.com or everydns.net
