FTP SERVER SETUP WITH LOG FILE MONITORING

AIM: To Setup a local DNS server for the network shown in the below diagram.
Diagram:

Requirement:
1. Linux system,
2. Window system
3. Bind9 server for Linux
4. Client for windows
Description:
Organization should have Setup dns

Procedure:
1. Install Bind:Install the bind9 package using the appropriate package
management utilities for your Linux distributions.
a) Command:sudo apt-get install bind9
b)
2. Configure Cache NameServer
a) The job of a DNS caching server is to query other DNS servers and cache
the response. Next time when the same query is given, it will provide the
response from the cache. The cache will be updated periodically.
b) Please note that even though you can configure bind to work as a
Primary and as a Caching server, it is not advised to do so for security
reasons. Having a separate caching server is advisable.
c) All we have to do to configure a Cache NameServer is to add your ISP
(Internet Service Provider)’s DNS server or any OpenDNS server to the
file /etc/bind/named.conf.options. For Example, we will use google’s
public DNS servers, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
