Configure RS6000 with AIX 4.3 as a DNS for a Network!!!!

[wgarciap]

I need information about how can I configure a RS6000 with AIX 4.3 as a DNS for a Network???
This machine is going to be the backup DNS for all our network clients using windows 95, windows 98 and windows nt.
I have all the servers, printers and clients in the hosts table, but...

Any advice is appreciated.

You must to set many steps...

Imagine you'll set up a secondary server for two zones in domain nyc.company.com: subnet 9.19.98 and subnet 9.19.99 with nameserver in 9.19.98.1, and you'll put all your zone files in /etc. Then
[tt]
vi /etc/named.boot[/tt
-------------------------------
[tt]
directory /etc
secondary nyc.company.com 9.19.98.1 named.dc.bak
secondary 98.19.9.in-addr.arpa 9.19.98.1 named.revip98.bak
secondary 99.19.9.in-addr.arpa 9.19.98.1 named.revip99.bak
primary 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa named.local
cache . named.ca
[/tt]
Another file (assuming your machine is dns2...
[tt]
vi /etc/named.local[/tt]
--------------------------------------------
[tt]
@ IN SOA dns2.nyc.company.com. root.dns2.nyc.company.com. (
1.0 ; Serial or version
10800 ; Refresh
3600 ; Retry
604800 ; Expire
86400 ) ; Minimum TTL
IN NS dns2.nyc.company.com.
1 IN PTR localhost.
[/tt]
Now you create the cache file (assuming dns0.company.com at 9.19.93.254 is an "upper level" dns server...
[tt]
vi /etc/named.ca[/tt]
-------------------------------------------
[tt]
. 99999999 IN NS dns0.company.com.
dns0.company.com. 99999999 IN A 9.19.93.254
[/tt]
Finally setu up your resolv.conf file:
[tt]
vi /etc/resolv/conf[/tt]
------------------------------------------
[tt]
domain nyc.company.com
nameserver 127.0.0.1
[/tt]

I hope it works...

Sorry, I don't know why it shows so screwed up! E-mail me and I can write the correct spellings for everything.
