![]() ![]() To follow this tutorial, you should have already bought a domain name. This tutorial will show you how to set up BIND9 on CentOS 8/RHEL 8 as an authoritative-only DNS server with recursion disabled. In a previous article, I explained the steps of setting up a local DNS resolver on CentOS 8/RHEL 8. It’s a good practice to separate the two roles on two different hosts. However, taking two roles at the same time isn’t advantageous. A DNS resolver can also be called a recursive name server because it performs recursive DNS lookups for end users. It’s originally developed by UC Berkeley, and later in 1994, its development was moved to Internet Systems Consortium, Inc (ISC).īIND can act as an authoritative DNS server for a zone and a DNS resolver at the same time. It provides authoritative answers to DNS resolvers (like 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1), which query DNS records on behalf of end-users on PC, smartphone, or tablet.īIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is an open-source, flexible and full-featured DNS software widely used on Unix/Linux due to its stability and high quality. If you own a domain name and want your own DNS server to handle name resolution for your domain name instead of using your domain registrar’s DNS server, then you will need to set up an authoritative DNS server.Īn authoritative DNS server is used by domain name owners to store DNS records. If you want to edit DNS records from a web GUI, I recommend setting up authoritative DNS servers with Webmin, which is a free and open-source server control panel. Note: This tutorial shows the command-line method. This tutorial will be showing you how to set up and run your own authoritative name server on CentOS 8/RHEL 8 with the widely-used BIND 9 software. ![]()
