Save and Exit the named.conf using wq!
3. Create the Forward and Reserve Zone les as mentioned in named.conf
FORWARD ZONE :
a.) Create a Forward Zone le under /var/named in the name of

localdomain.zone
There are Sample les under the /var/named/ Directory, Just make a Copy of
that le and modify it as our need
b.) Make a Copy of sample le as below
[root@dbwr1 ~]# cp /var/named/named.localhost

/var/named/localdomain.zone

c.) Edit the le localdomain.zone
[root@dbwr1 ~]# vim /var/named/localdomain.zone
$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA dbwr1.localdomain.com. root.localdomain.com. (
2014051001 ; serial
3600 ; refresh
1800 ; retry
604800 ; expire
86400 ; minimum
)
@ IN NS dbwr1.localdomain.
localhost IN A 127.0.0.1
dbwr1 IN A 192.168.24.1
dbwr2 IN A 192.168.24.2
dbwr1-priv IN A 192.168.10.1
dbwr2-priv IN A 192.168.10.1
dbwr1-vip IN A 192.168.24.31
dbwr2-vip IN A 192.168.24.32
dbwr-scan IN A 192.168.24.41
dbwr-scan IN A 192.168.24.42
dbwr-scan IN A 192.168.24.43
4) RESERVE ZONE :
a.) Create a Reserver Zone le under /var/named in the name of 24.168.192.in-

addr.arpa
There are Sample les under the /var/named/ Directory, Just make a Copy of
that le and modify it as our need
b.) Make a Copy of sample le as below
[root@dbwr1 ~]# cp /var/named/named.loopback /var/named/24.168.192.in-

addr.arpa
c.) Edit the le 24.168.192.in-addr.arpa
[root@dbwr1
 ~]# vim /var/named/24.168.192.in-addr.arpa
$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA dbwr1.localdomain.com. root.localdomain.com. (
2
3H
1H
1W
1H )
@ IN NS dbwr1.localdomain.com.
@ IN PTR localdomain.com.
dbwr1 IN A 192.168.24.1
dbwr-scan IN A 192.168.24.41
dbwr-scan IN A 192.168.24.42
dbwr-scan IN A 192.168.24.43
1 IN PTR dbwr1.localdomain.com.
41 IN PTR dbwr-scan.localdomain.
5. The les we created was in root group We need to change those les to
named group
Here we can see the les which have the root group
a.) Change the group to named using below Command
[root@dbwr1 ~]# chgrp named /var/named/localdomain.zone

[root@dbwr1 ~]# chgrp named /var/named/24.168.192.in-addr.arpa
b.) Then we need to check the Context of the les under
[root@dbwr1 named]# ls -lZd /etc/named.conf

-rwxrwxr-x. root root uncon ned_u:object_r:etc_t:s0 /etc/named.conf
It want to be in the context of named_conf_t
If its Di erent than this then we need to restore the context using
[root@masterdns:~:] restorecon /etc/named.conf
6.
 Start the DNS Service
[root@racpb1:~ ] systemctl start named.service
7. Deploy iptables Rules to allow DNS service
Add the iptables rules
[root@racpb1:~ ] iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT

[root@racpb1:~ ] iptables -A INPUT -m state –state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j
ACCEPT
[root@racpb1:~ ] iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m state –state NEW -m tcp –dport 22
-j ACCEPT
[root@racpb1:~ ] iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m state –state NEW -m tcp –dport 53
-j ACCEPT
[root@racpb1:~ ] iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m state –state NEW -m udp –dport
53 -j ACCEPT
[root@racpb1:~ ] iptables -A INPUT -j DROP
8. Make the DNS server’s own IP address in the below le.
[root@dbwr1 ~]# cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by NetworkManager
search localdomain
nameserver 192.168.24.1
options timeout:1
options attempts:5
9. Now Check for the Available Hosts in DNS
[root@dbwr1 ~]# nslookup dbwr-scan

Server: 192.168.24.1
Address: 192.168.24.1#53
Name: dbwr-scan.localdomain
Address: 192.168.24.43
Address: 192.168.24.42
Address:
 192.168.24.41
