Bind9 with chroot simple version

Having my first steps in Linux, I will just posting the easiest ways to do things with this system.

So I wanted to install a DNS(nameserver) into a CentOS 5.5 machine, the easiest way is:

using Bind9 with chroot as installed by default in the CentOS server.

# cd /var/named/chroot/etc/

edit/create the file

# nano named.conf

put this in the file

options {

directory "/var/named";

forwarders { 8.8.8.8; };

};

# service named start

# dig google.com

the service should be all ok and responding, don't forget to change the /etc/resolv.conf to point to the new nameserver
