Unable to use local DNS server
As a home user, I want to have a good DNS for my local network. I decided to install PowerDNS on one of my virtual machines. It works perfectly well and does exactly what I need; resolve local names (as well as reversed lookups) and forward other requests to my router. Because name resolving is a very fundamental function, I want to reduce dependancies, so I figured it would be better to have pdns on my ReadyNAS. I installed pnds-server and pdns-backend-mysql. Copied over the 'poweradmin' web-tree to have easy management, exported the MySQL database of the VM and imported it on the ReadyNAS. So far, so good. The poweradmin web interface is working well, but I couldn't get pdns to start. I noticed 'bind' was running, so I killed that. ;-) However, pdns still can't bind to port 53. Research learned me that 'connmand' is listening on that port. Can I just disable it? The name "Connection Manager" seems to implicate that it's doing all kinds of stuff for the NAS, so I want to be carefull there. What would be the right way to enable pdns on my NAS?Solved3.9KViews0likes5Comments
