So let's get some info so we can help. Are you going to compile bind? Or are you going to use the Ubuntu repository?

Are you setting up on a dedicated server, a VPS or home server?

Are you using Ubuntu 9.10 for the server?

What else are you going to put on the server?

If you are using Ubuntu 9.04 you will want to take a look at this article:

I set up an Ubuntu 9.10 server and followed these steps after downloading the bind 9.7. Note that OpenSSL was installed and gcc was installed. However, the install failed because of a bug. Now looking into that the isc site does not list Ubuntu as a distribution that it has been compiled on. Also research showed no solutions initially to resolving the bug. Therefore at this point some solution to the bug is the first issue...still researching.

mv bind* /usr/rc

tar zxvf bind*

cd /usr/src/bind-9.7.0

apt-get install gcc

./configure

checking for OpenSSL library... configure: error: OpenSSL was not found in any of /usr /usr/local /usr/local/ssl /usr/pkg /usr/sfw; use --with-openssl=/path
If you don't want OpenSSL, use --without-openssl

apt-get install openssl

./configure --with-openssl=/usr/bin/openssl

checking for OpenSSL library... configure: error: "/usr/bin/openssl/include/openssl/opensslv.h" not found

2550. [bug] Check --with-openssl=<path> finds <openssl/opensslv.h>.

Apparently Ubuntu 9.10 install bind 9.6.1 by default while the new version of Ubuntu will have version 9.7 as the default.

The default version for bind installs with a simple:

apt-get install bind9

How are you going to use this...business, home, etc.

The reason I ask is for security options that you may have to put in place as well.

Once bind is installed look in the /etc/bind directory for the files you will need to configure. With Ubuntu the files are all broken into smaller files so you will need to edit multiple files here.

/etc/bind/named.conf

This file has three includes: these are connections to other files.
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.options";
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.local";
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.default-zones";

You will need to create zone files for each domain, both a forward and a reverse zone.

I have worked on DNS Severs, but I have not compiled DNS and SSL, why not just install it from the repository?

Just wondering ....

Well...I think the problem is that we are not sure how to respond as you really are not asking a specific question....no one is sure where to start....

Do you need help with forward zones, reverse zones, DNS security...you see it is hard to start as from your posts it does not even look like you have it compiled.

I guess if I threw in my 2 cents worth I would say ...ask a specific question and you are more likely to get an answer...just my opinion.

I am unable to get started on this until Saturday or Sunday when I can set up a server...but I will get back to you...as I am interested in looking at DNS from a new perspective.
