DNS Server setup

[agriz]

Hi

Kindly recommend me one how-to to create name server.
I just found some tutorials. they have only one name server setup.

ns1.server.com

I need ns1. and ns2.

Thanks

On the primary name server, create /etc/named.conf
---

options {
        directory "/var/named";
        pid-file "/var/named/named.pid";
};

include "/etc/rndc.key";

zone "." {
        type hint;
        file "rootservers.cache";
};

zone "unixpeople.com" {
        type master;
        file "db.unixpeople";
};
---

You will then have to create the contents of the two data files, /var/named/rootservers.cache and /var/named/db.unixpeople.
The rootservers.cache file can be found easily by google. For example, here:
http://www.internic.net/zones/named.root

The db.unixpeople zone file would look like this:
---

$TTL 600
unixpeople.com. IN SOA woody.unixpeople.com. hostmaster.unixpeople.com. (
        20111203 ; serial
        14400      ; refresh
        900          ; retry (15 minutes)
        5184000   ; expire (8 weeks 4 days)
        3600       ; minimum (1 hour)
        )
             NS      ns1.unixpeople.ca.
             NS      woody.unixpeople.com.
             NS      trinity.trinnet.net.
             MX      10 mail.unixpeople.com.
---

On the secondary servers, (ns1.unixpeople.ca and trinity.trinnet.net), you would put an entry in the named.conf for each zone for which the server is a secondary:
---

zone "unixpeople.com" {
        type slave;
        masters { 168.144.196.83; };
        file "db.unixpeople";
};
