For these and other reasons, Unbound was chosen as a caching DNS server and NSD for an authoritative DNS Server for local zones. Additionally, redundancy is required since this is a production environment which requires uninterruptible DNS resolution. Our environment will consist of two physical servers both configured as follows: Continue reading “Unbound Caching and NSD Local Authoritative Master Slave DNS Server – Part I”
