It is just not necessary to use the default DNS server in Windows. You can ofcourse install and
use ISC BIND (though I still prefer dear old MS DNS
Download links are as follows
“isc.org/products/BIND/bind8.html”
Setting up and configuring BIND on Windows might turn out to be nightmare
Anyway, here goes
Section 1: Location of files
[C:\Program Files\DNS\bin\]
In this folder are all the executeables that came with BIND.
[C:\Program Files\DNS\etc]
In this folder are all configuration files. This includes:
named.conf main BIND configuration file
rndc.key required for rndc to manage your BIND server
root.hint a hint to BIND as to what the root servers are
named.pid created by BIND when running
example.com.zone zone file containing my example zone
1.0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA.zone — zone file for reverse lookup
[C:\Program Files\DNS\log]
Create this folder to store my log files in
[C:\Program Files\DNS\manual]
help files and other text files were placed in this folder
Section 2: Configuration
I’m not going to teach you how to configure your server
Refer to the manuals for details . However here are someworkign examples
serialcoders.sytes.net/BIND/
Consider copying those files in to their respective directories on your server
and modifying them
To remotely test your BIND servers:
serialcoders.sytes.net/cgi-bin/DNS/index.pl?lr=3
