I want to build a server at home and in order to serve subdomains I have to offer a DNS service. After several attempts and having followed many tutorials, I still have not been able to accomplish it. This is my configuration:




  • LAN is 192.168.178.0/24

  • server's hostname is zotac and it's IP is 192.168.178.10

  • The domain's name should be spiti

  • The subdomains should be reached by typing financer.spiti, fotos.spiti, wiki.spiti and so on in the browser from any device in the LAN


  • bind9 is installed and running on zotac


  • named-checkconf /etc/bind/named.conf throws no errors




Configuration files:



/etc/bind/named.conf.local




zone "spiti" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.spiti";
};

zone "178.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
notify no;
file "/etc/bind/db.178.168.192";
};


/etc/bind/named.conf.options




options {
directory "/var/cache/bind";
forwarders {
1.1.1.1;
1.0.0.1;
};
dnssec-validation auto;

auth-nxdomain no; # conform to RFC1035
listen-on-v6 { any; };
};


Zone "spiti":/etc/bind/db.spiti

  • curl zotac returns the index.html content under the apache home folder: ok.


  • curl spiti returns Could not resolve host: spiti : not ok

  • When I configure my modem-router to use my server as DNS server, no device has connection to internet.


What am I doing wrong?





@grawity , thanks for the tool, I did not know it. Unfortunately, I have no other ubuntu machine in the LAN, but if I do it from zotac, I get following:
