[WARNING! This is a long discussion!] Is it possible to have a single DNS server support two different domain names, with each domain name having it's own forward and reverse lookups? The problem I seem to run into is that of reverse lookups; I cannot seem to figure out just how to have common reverse IP lookups separated so that it returns the correct domain name based on the domain name itself. For example and on a single server: (f=forward, r=reverse) Domain: domain1.com <inside (private)> f-IP: 10.1.0.1 host1.domain1.com 10.1.0.2 host2.domain1.com r-IP: 1 host1.domain1.com 2 host2.domain1.com Domain: domain1.com <outside (Internet)> f-IP: 216.99.218.1 host1.domain1.com 216.99.218.2 host2.domain1.com r-IP: 1 host1.domain1.com 2 host2.domain1.com Domain: domain2.com <inside (private)> f-IP: 10.1.0.1 host1.domain2.com 10.1.0.2 host2.domain2.com r-IP: 1 host1.domain2.com 2 host2.domain2.com Domain: domain2.com <outside (Internet)> f-IP: 216.99.218.1 host1.domain2.com 216.99.218.2 host2.domain2.com r-IP: 1 host1.domain2.com 2 host2.domain2.com The problem I ran into is that I could not figure out how to separate the reverse IP tables with each of the respective domain names because there is only one file, ie: 0.1.10.in-addr.arpa 218.99.216.in-addr.arpa The conflict I have is, that for a reverse IP call for domain1 would return the IP that the reverse IP file has contained in it, for one can only have one reverse IP assignment. For example. the above reverse IP file (218.99.216.in-addr.arpa) contains: 1 host1.domain1.com 2 host2.domain1.com What I'd really like to have: 1 host1.domain1.com 1 host1.domain2.com 2 host2.domain1.com 2 host2.domain2.com But I believe this is not allowed at all for either the first or last item searched is returned and the others ignored? How can I have separate reverse IP files assigned for each respective domain names? Here is what I have (partially) from named.conf: ============================================ view "internal" { // This should match out internal network match-clients { 10.0.0.0/8; 127.0.0.1; }; // Provide recursive service to internal clients, only. recursion yes; // Provide a complete view of your local DNS zone // including addresses of internal hosts. zone "." IN { type hint; file "named.ca"; }; // Provide a complete view of your local DNS zone // including addresses of internal hosts. zone "." IN { type hint; file "named.ca"; }; include "/etc/named.rfc1912.zones"; zone "domain1.com" IN { type master; file "domain1-10.1.0.zone"; allow-update { none; }; }; zone "domain2.com" IN { type master; file "domain2-10.1.0.zone"; allow-update { none; }; }; // Reverse IP table supports both domain1 and domain2 // How do we assign exclusive reverse IP for each domain name? zone "0.1.10.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "0.1.10.in-addr.arpa"; allow-update { none; }; }; }; // End of internal view view "external" { match-clients { any; }; // Refuse recursive service to external clients. recursion no; // Provide restricted view of the zone // containing only publicly accessible hosts. zone "." IN { type hint; file "named.ca"; }; include "/etc/named.rfc1912.zones"; zone "domain1.com" { type master; file "domain1-216.99.218.zone"; }; zone "domain2.com" IN { type master; file "domain2-216.99.218.zone"; allow-update { none; }; }; // Reverse IP table supports both domain1 and domain2 // How do we assign exclusive reverse IP for each domain name? zone "218.99.216.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "218.99.216.in-addr.arpa"; allow-update { none; }; }; }; // End of external view ============================================ My goal here is to support redundancy by having two separate servers, each supporting two domain names so that if one server drops dead, the other server will take over and also, I really do not want to have 4 different servers, two for each domain name so, it is about cost as well. Does this scenario make any sense at all? I have looked for examples on the Internet but I could not find anything that can shed some light on this. Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction or - perhaps this is a nutty idea and there is a better way?
