Part 00 - Developing and proposing a final project

Selecting groups and project proposal

For Apache DNS Number 1!’s final project we looked into setting up an alternative DNS server on Linux. This assignment we will be installing Bind DNS on our Linux box. We will be copying the old records from the DNS on our AD02 windows box over to our new DNS Blog01 Linux box so we won’t have to re-write all the old files. This will prove as one of our test scripts as the new system on Linux will take over the old windows DNS. We can also use Wireshark and command prompt to display a successful DNS lookup reaching our Linux VM. Ideally we will adjust our DNS servers to be synced with each other so modifications on Linux or Windows will create appropriate A or PTR records on the other end. In order to do this we will need to research how exactly to configure a BIND Domain Name Server on Linux, as well as to sync it with our Windows DNS server.

Research that I need to look into
