DNS Server?

how would i go about setting up a dns server of my own? i am asking becuase i want to set up a domain controller and host some sites.

Well you need to get a DNS server to begin with. You can get some free ones with various linux distributions. I like tiny DNS. After that you need to register a domain, and you need to register the IP you have with your domain so it's directed to you, and from there you configure your dns server.

ok..cool
i already have lightningfx.net so i just set up the dns server and point the ip to the domain?

Yes assuming you have a static IP, when you register your domain use your static IP with that domain.

is there a beginners guide anywhere?

TC · 09-29-02, 07:28 PM

Not any good ones that I know of. Just dig through the man pages. I'm sure we can help if you get stuck.
