Operating Systems Linux Red Hat DNS resolvers setup/installation ? Post 302353702 by pludi on Wednesday 16th of September 2009 02:20:35 AM

You are confusing 2 different parts of the system. The resolver is the local part (the DNS client), which tries different ways to resolve an human memorable name to an IP address. One of these ways is to ask a DNS server, like OpenDNS or an locally installed DNS server (which itself acts like a resolver if it doesn't know the mapping already).

To run your own DNS server, you'll (primarily) need 2 things: a server machine that has a public IP, and the DNS server software (eg. BIND), the latter of which has to be configured properly.

Thing is, if you run your own DNS server, it'll still have to ask other servers for mappings it doesn't know (either because it's never heard of it before, or because the caching time expired).
