question on BIND

[OTIM]

Hi,

Is there any problem for BIND that i don't have a /24 class of ip addresses?

I mean i have only one IP address. How do i define the address to host mapping file?
Lets say my ip is 192.168.1.1 and i have db.192.168.1 zone file :

$TTL 3h
1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. IN SOA dns.somedomain.org. hostmaster.somedomain.org.(
1 ; Serial
3h ; Refresh after 3 hours
1h ; Retry after 1 hour
1w ; Expire after 1 week
1h ) ; Negative caching TTL of 1 hour

;
; Name servers
;
1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. IN NS dns.somedomain.org.

;
; Addresses point to canonical name
;
1.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR dns.somedomain.org.

Is this ok? Will this work?

P.S. just ignore the private ip - its for demo purpose only, i have a routable ip

                1  ; Serial
                3h ; Refresh after 3 hours
                1h ; Retry after 1 hour
                1w ; Expire after 1 week
                1h ) ; Negative caching TTL of 1 hour

;
; Name servers
;
1        NS    dns.somedomain.org.

$ORIGIN 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa.
;
; Addresses point to canonical name
;
1        PTR    dns.somedomain.org.

I would suggest that you buy a book on DNS, maybe this one:

oreilly.com -- Online Catalog: DNS and BIND, Fourth Edition

and understand what DNS does and how to configure it especially if you are going to make this server public access!!

Yupii i made it work
No i don't want to make it public it is just for me, for study purposes.

So here is my config, perhaps it might help someone someday, who knows
named.conf

options {
directory "/var/named";
pid-file "named.pid";
allow-recursion { 192.168.0/24; } ;
listen-on { 192.168.0/24; } ;
version none;
allow-query { 192.168.0/24; } ;
allow-transfer { 192.168.0/24; } ;
};

zone "ovidiu.org" in {
type master;
file "db.ovidiu.org";
} ;

zone "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" in {
type master;
file "db.192.168.0";
} ;

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" in {
type master;
file "db.127.0.0";
} ;

zone "." in {
type hint;
file "root.zone";
} ;

db.127.0.0

$TTL 24h
0.0.127.in-addr.arpa. IN SOA serverx.ovidiu.org. serverx.ovidiu.org. (
1 ; Serial
3h ; Refresh after 3 hours
1h ; Retry after 1 hour
1w ; Expire after 1 week
1h ) ; Negative caching TTL of 1 hour

0.0.127.in-addr.arpa. IN NS serverx.ovidiu.org.
1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR localhost.

db.192.168.0

$TTL 3h
0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. IN SOA serverx.ovidiu.org. hostmaster.ovidiu.org. (
1 ; Serial
3h ; Refresh after 3 hours
1h ; Retry after 1 hour
1w ; Expire after 1 week
1h ) ; Negative caching TTL of 1 hour
0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. IN NS serverx.ovidiu.org.
1.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR serverx.ovidiu.org.
10.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR anisoara.ovidiu.org.

db.ovidiu.org

$TTL 3h
$ORIGIN ovidiu.org.
;
;SOA record
;
ovidiu.org. IN SOA serverx.ovidiu.org. hostmaster.ovidiu.org. (
1 ; Serial
3h ; Refresh after 3 hours
1h ; Retry after 1 hour
1w ; Expire after 1 week
1h ) ; Negative caching TTL of 1 hour
;
;NS records
;
ovidiu.org. IN NS serverx.ovidiu.org.
;
;A records
;
localhost IN A 127.0.0.1
serverx IN A 192.168.0.1
anisoara IN A 192.168.0.10
;
;CNAME records
;
ratisoara IN CNAME anisoara

Yes i know it can be improved, but for now i'm happy because it works

Cool!! Maybe sometime in the future you'll play with it some more.

thanks
After some reading on internet and on forums it seems there is a mistake in my config.
So, what i did was this: deleted

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" in {
type master;
file "db.127.0.0";
} ;

and added in named.conf:

zone "localhost" in {
type master;
file "master.localhost";
allow-update {none;};
};
zone "0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA" in{
type master;
file "localhost.rev";
allow-update{none;};

with the zone files:

$TTL 1d ;
$ORIGIN localhost.
localhost. IN SOA localhost. root.localhost. (
2002022401 ; serial
3H ; refresh
15M ; retry
1w ; expire
3h ; minimum
)
localhost. IN NS localhost. ; localhost is the name server
localhost. IN A 127.0.0.1 ; the loop-back address

$TTL 86400 ; 24 hours
$ORIGIN 0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA.
@ IN SOA localhost. root.localhost. (
1997022700 ; Serial
3h ; Refresh
15 ; Retry
1w ; Expire
3h ) ; Minimum
IN NS localhost.
1 IN PTR localhost.

When i do "nslookup localhost" i get :
Name: localhost.ovidiu.org
Address: 127.0.0.1

My question is, if someone is kind to explain why do i need this?
I know that 127.0.0.1 is the loopback address and it is a way that the computer refers to itself.
