Example:

Because we are creating a new domain (engardelinux.com), we must create a new forward zone for it. Before EnGarde can be configured to provide DNS for this domain, it must have been listed among the list of authoritative name servers for this domain.

>From the System Management menu, select DNS Management. The next step will be to create a new master zone. Click on the Create a New Master Zone link.

Leave the Forward (Names to Addresses) button checked since that is the type of zone to be created. Keep the default value of Master server. The rest the input looks like:

• [Domain name:]engardelinux.com
• [Email Address:]administrator@engardelinux.com

Leave the Allow transfers from... set to Allow None, and the Allow queries from... set to Allow Any. For more information on these fields please refer to the full manual.

Click on the Create button to see the new zone in the zone listing. To add the records for our example, click on the engardelinux.com link.

Address Records

 

• [Hostname:]www.engardelinux.com
• [Address:]192.168.1.71

At this point we have successfully created www.engardelinux.com and mail 
.engardelinux.com to go to 192.168.1.71.

We have now successfully configured the DNS records for our sample domain.
