Named

Named serves DNS records

Named is the deamon that provides DNS services. It runs on jalapeno, and tomato.

The configuration for DNS is in /etc/named.conf The entries for the DNS are on jalapeno in /var/named/
After making any edits, make sure you reload the tables: /etc/init.d/named reload

There is still some legacy "Aaron" stuff in there that should be cleaned up. He should be working on moving the entries to other systems.

OLD CONFIGURATION

Comments below were for the old configuration. This is no longer the case.

Named used to run on Jalapeño and tomato, but it no longer runs on tomato. The alternate system is now lentil.

Named (Bind) Configuration

We run named in a "chroot jail" for safety. The jail is in /var/named/chroot. See Chroot-BIND-HOWTO. The chroot directory does NOT need a "proc", which messes up backups of "var". "dev" also messes up the backups, but I'm unsure about whether this is actually necessary.
