The server you
are creating now with your openSUSE system is a local DNS server that will be used in
your local environment (or network), and it will have to query another DNS server for its
name resolution information because it is not a public Internet-based DNS server. You
can, in fact, set it up as an Internet-based DNS server, but because doing so is outside the
scope of this book, this chapter will not be able to cover all those details in depth. There
are many more steps to configuring a DNS solution, and there are many ways you can set
it up, allowing you to meet just about any name resolution scenario placed before you.
To set your openSUSE system as a Local DNS server, you can bypass the forwarder configuration
by clicking Next. You do not have to set a forwarder. Remember, a forwarder is
nothing more than setting your local DNS server as a non-root DNS server that will query
a root server if it does not know the answer to a query. When you starting the module for
the first time, see the dialog box shown in Figure 27.11, DNS Server Installation:
Forwarder Settings.
