General Information
H-Sphere DNS service uses the bind8.x package. It doesn't support bind9.x versions.
As a result, if you use the Linux RedHat autoupdates, be careful not to update bind.
To completely disable DNS service, stop the named.
To disallow user zones on a particular DNS server,
disable user signup for this
logical server through H-Sphere web interface. This way, old customers will
keep using it, and new customers won't.
Resellers can run on dedicated and shared IPs. You can
disable dedicated IP hosting for resellers. Read how to
configure DNS for resellers in the admin guide.
* As of now we don't provide support for Reverse DNS.
DNS Config Files
The main configuration file location:
/etc/named.conf under Linux
/etc/namedb/named.conf under FreeBSD
It contains the following data:
--
options {
directory "/hsphere/local/var/named";
listen-on { 127.0.0.1;
YOUR_IP_1;
YOUR_IP_2;
...
YOUR_IP_N; };
transfer-source 127.0.0.1;
pid-file "/hsphere/local/var/named/named.pid";
};
zone "." IN { type hint; file "local/named.ca"; };
zone "localhost" IN { type master; file "local/localhost.zone"; allow-update
{ none; }; };
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "local/named.local";
allow-update { none; }; };
include "zones_index.conf";
acl anyip{any;};
--
H-Sphere DNS Zones
The main named directory both on master and slave DNS servers is /hsphere/local/var/named/.
It contains the zones_index.conf file,
the zones_(NUMBER).conf
files and the zones(NUMBER) directories,
where (NUMBER) = 1, 2, ... , 22
This structure contains H-Sphere DNS info and files.
To find a zone, execute the following commands:
# cd /hsphere/local/var/named/
# grep "Zone.Name.com" *.conf
It will return the data which contains the zone file location.
But please don't modify it manually, especially, if you don't
understand what you do.
The localhost and 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa zones files are
located in the /hsphere/local/var/named/local/ directory.
Custom DNS Zones
If you need to add a custom zone, we recommend placing it into this directory.
Note that H-Sphere won't manage your custom zones, you will have to manage them manually.
Reverse DNS
H-Sphere doesn't manage reverse DNS.
To configure reverse DNS globally for the main H-Sphere domain, H-Sphere owner's ISP
or domain registration company should accordingly configure reverse DNS for this domain
on their DNS servers.
