    Introduction to DNS using BIND.

    By : postalcow

    This is designed to be a quick understanding to DNS. They have 400 Page books on DNS so I am not going to be able to fit it in this one article. I goal is to give a basic understanding of how DNS works and the bare minimum needed to set it up on a Unix flavored machine. This is for your educational information. Always make backups before you start, ad I will not be responsible if you break something.

    Bind (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) service is arguably the most popular implementation of DNS or (Domain Naming Service). With Windows 2000, Microsoft finally did away with WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service, Microsoft's proprietary NETBIOS naming service) Microsoft put up a valiant fight to use theirs instead of DNS but I am happy to report they lost the battle.

    Ok, Computers don't understand www.codewalkers.com. but it does understand http://198.78.66.214/ which is the real destination of codewalkers. DNS loosely translated is a phonebook if you will. you type www.codewalkers.com in your browser and DNS say's Oh.. that's really http://198.78.66.214/. This happens transparently in the background you never see it, but most take it for granite.
