1. Create a list of host names and correspondence IP addresses in your /etc/hosts file.
2. # mkdir /etc/named.data3. # cd /etc/named.data4. Create a file named param that will be used by hosts_to_named to create DNS data files-d DNS.com --> it's your domain name
-n 192.168.3 --> it's your subnet
-z 192.168.3.10 --> it's your master server's IP.
-b /etc/named.conf
5. Now you have to make a data base to be used for your dns, the follow command will use the hosts contens to generate it.
# hosts_to_named –f param
6. download the db.cache file from ftp.rs.internic.net and copy it to /etc/named.data directory
# ftp ftp.rs.internic.net
Connected to ftp.rs.internic.net.
