NOTE
If you try to open the YaST DNS Server module without BIND already installed, YaST
will offer to install it for you.
Next, you need to configure DNS. To configure DNS manually, you can use YaST to install
the base system and then configure it as well. To get to the DNS configuration pages,
open YaST and navigate to the Network Services menu in the YaST Control Center.
You can use the DNS Server module of YaST to configure a DNS server for your local
network. When you start the module for the first time, a wizard will prompt you about
making changes on your forwarder. A forwarder is used to send your request to the next
server that will be able to answer the request and then cache it on the forwarding server,
which will most likely be ???Internet facing??? and have a publicly assigned IP address.

FIGURE 27.10 Using YaST to install DNS.
Next, consider the following. Because you??™ve set up the client, you are now setting up the
server. If you remember from previous examples, the DNS server, if not a root server, will
still need to get its information from a public Internet-based DNS server.
