Our InternetServer, =liberty=, provides DNS (Domain Name System) service.  We use ISC BIND.

liberty is the SOA nameserver for the =gnhlug.org= domain.

At the TLD (Top Level Domain) servers, there are NS records which delegate authority for =gnhlug.org= to liberty and its peers.  This is how other DNS resolvers in the world find out which nameservers to ask about the domain.

liberty is configured as a BIND master server for the =gnhlug.org= domain.  Some other name servers are slaved to liberty for the domain.  As of this writing, the only active slave is =rogue.codemeta.com=.  It is delegated from the 2LD and listed in the zone file.

We are in the process of bringing up some !DynDNS slaves as well.  These will be =ns2.mydyndns.org=, =ns3.mydyndns.org=, =ns4.mydyndns.org=, and =ns5.mydyndns.org=.  They are listed in the zone file, but have yet to be delegated from the 2LD.

BIND also provides a full-service, caching resolver for the software running on liberty.  Only liberty itself is permitted to make use of this resolver.  Other IP addresses are denied.  This is accomplished via =allow-querry= statements in the =named.conf= file.

BIND runs chrooted under =/var/named/=.

=linux.codemeta.com= used to be an authorative nameserver for the =gnhlug.org= domain.  It does not currently have anything to do with DNS for =gnhlug.org=.  (But thanks for hosting it for so long, Bruce!)
