DNS Configuration

IN Oracle VM DNS is inherent form HOST dns, so disable the DHCP of

HOST_ONLY_ADAPTER then gest can use local DNS updated in "/etc/resolve.conf"

# yum install bind-libs bind bind-utils

If you want a GUI DNS editor, you can also install the following package.
Personally, I find the GUI editor more confusing than using the configuration files
directly.

# yum install system-config-bind

Now in each client of same domain "sam.com"

"/etc/resolv.conf" File
The DNS server is now running, but each server must be told to use it. This is done
by editing the "/etc/resolv.conf" file on each server,
including the RAC nodes. Make sure the file contains the following entries, where
the IP address and domain match those of your DNS server and the domain you have
configured.

cat >> /etc/resolv.conf <<EOF

nameserver 192.168.56.3
search sam.com hello.com #
