DNS server

[hisao.aso]

I want to set up DNS server for new web service.
But I don't know I should use what appliance.
Please give me some information for setting up DNS server.

hisao.aso,

If you need something quick, just to try it out, you can deploy a VDS instance and install bind or djbdns.

To create a catalog appliance, I would recommend using LUX as a base appliance (as it is very small). Branch it, install your DNS software, test it, rename the class to DNS or similar and drag the appliance to the user catalog.

You can separate the firewall using an IN gateway -- the rest is standard AppLogic, nothing specific to DNS.

When using gateways, make sure you configure port 53 udp and tcp as open to the DNS server.

(BTW, what kind of DNS service you are looking for - cache, authoritative, resolver, etc.)

If you need more details, please post and we can help.

Best regards,
