site http://eu.org/ , very spartan graphics, offers free registration of a third-level domain of the type dominio.eu.org . The guide to doing everything on the site is very poor, it is also specified that this service was held up by volunteers, and in some forums they say that the domain registration can last from 4 to 8 weeks. E 'possible to register as an individual and the rule should not be used for profit (no business domains).
Registration is surely the most powerful one called "NS", which allows having a fixed IP network, to fully manage the DNS server that we installed in order to create for ourselves on the Active Directory entry for the publication of the internal machines private network, and qualt'altro. In practice, your PC becomes a real NameServer Internet.
Part 1 - Getting Started
A DNS server translates into internal host names (eg. http://www.microsoft.com/ , as distinct from the wild web server address, which begins however, always a protocol - eg. http://) to IP addresses. For example, microsoft.com is the domain name, "www" is the network name of the machine where you installed the web server, "ftp" that is installed on the FTP server, and so on. Means FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) of a host her full name (hostname + domain name), for example download.microsoft.com. In
local network, if there is a domain, all these names are managed by a DNS server. In most cases, the domain name that is associated with the network is fictional, as to assign a real effective it must be recorded in a register (provider name registration) and must ultimately be propagated to all DNS providers and Internet nodes.
If you want to give visibility to certain services on the internal network to the Internet, here is a good idea to match "Internet domain and local domain.
I would like to point out the impropriety of a geographic nature of eu.org. The first level (org) indicates that the server is in the U.S. and is a non-profit, the second level, "eu", never was most unfortunate choice of name (seems to indicate a European origin goegrafica). Finally we add that we (the third level) will be according to our tastes and needs, and mockery, the server that runs it will be in Italy ... For this and other reasons of redundancy, you should record a second nameserver (that The registration form asks for mandatory two eu.org), which is located somewhere else on the planet, so as to be easily accessible (remember in this connection that a DNS query usually has a timeout of 2 seconds). To this end, the site exists http://ns2exchange.com/ , which, being a sort of Facebook of DNS allows the contact and exchange with others who have the same need, namely: "I make from secondary NS to you, you to me. "
Finally, be sure to read the first utility slides this PDF.
Part 2 - Software
There are many DNS servers that can be used, many of them even free. For a comprehensive comparative review here. As an example, we suggest you read here to see, in 2004, as distributed use of these products on the Internet.
In this part of the tutorial we will deal with Microsoft DNS Server Simple DNS Plus and
Microsoft DNS Server Microsoft DNS Server
is provided only in conjunction with a version of Windows Server. This tutorial is valid for the vesion of Windows Server 2000, 2003 and 2008.
First of all you need to create a primary zone using the appropriate wizard, accessible by right clicking the server name in the DNS management console. The name of the primary zone is the domain of your choice (such dominio.eu.org). Once completed wing wizard here that the entries in the registry will be:
- SOA - Start Of Authority: Item that identifies the server as a primary area and makes the query response is always kind of authoritative;
- NS - Name Server: contains the list of name servers, that DNS server for the domain in question.
items that will need to add are:
- A record for ns.dominio.eu.org;
- A record for ns2.dominio.eu.org;
- NS records for both the previous ones (plus the relative form properties of the SOA record, erasing any previous DNS adds that Ms. automatically).
Without this we are ready for recording on eu.org.
Simple DNS Plus
The principle is the same as for Microsoft DNS. You create a new zone in the Records editor following the wizard. Complete with a secondary NS as shown:
Part 3 - Registration on the site
First of all a creative account here. Then go here to request a new domain. Filling out the form at the checkout is easy, but very little intuitive are the last fields. If you choose a record type NS must enter at least 2 items as shown below. The IP is what appears in the records associated with our name on your DNS server and ns2.
After that, download your email to confirm your request and then wait some weeks for activation.
