Resolvers setup/installation ?

[viraj]

Hi all !

A basic but a tricky question though [atleast for me ]

Ok, here it goes, we all use DNS resolvers on our servers, local machine, etc. They are necessary for resolving the domain names, etc.

OpenDNS is one of the free DNS resolver providers, I use it as for now.

Well, what I want is, to have my own DNS resolvers. ie: I dont want to use my ISPs or any other DNS providers' resolvers, but mine. Such that I can put them in the DNS settings [/etc/resolv.conf] & use them directly.

Can someone please guide me through the exact process required into this? Also, what sort of hardware is required into such a setup?

Any help/assistance would be much appreciated Thank you,

If you want to use your own name server, you need to install and set up a local dns server. The only advantage you will get though is in being able ro resolve local network names, all the others are resolved from the same query/answer process your own dns server would use.

Thank you for your reply, I'm now getting here All I need is a DNS server setup for the name resolution & then setup caching for the resolving part.. I'll go ahead now
