Objective
· Create primary and secondary forward lookup zones on Windows DNS servers.
Background / Preparation
You have been asked to implement a DNS zone for a customer that has registered a second-level domain on the Internet. The customer would like to host the DNS zone on two spare servers. You go on site to configure the zone on each of the two DNS servers. One server will function as the primary DNS server and the other will function as the secondary DNS server.
The following resources are required:
· Two Windows 2003 Servers with DNS running
· Administrative access to server
· Internet connectivity
Step 1: Create a Primary Forward Lookup Zone On Windows
a. Click Start > All Programs > Administrative Tools, and then click DNS to launch the DNS administrative tool.
b. Right-click Forward Lookup Zones and then click New Zone.
c. When the New Zone Wizard displays, click Next.
d. By default, the Primary zone radio button is selected. Click Next to create a Primary zone.
e. Enter the domain name, example.com, into the Zone name field and click Next.
f. Click Next to create a new file with this name.
g. Notice the option to enable dynamic updates. It is disabled by default for security. You will leave it disabled as well. Click Next.
h. Click Finish to create the primary forward lookup zone.
Step 2: Add a Host Record To The Primary Forward Lookup Zone
a. Right-click the example.com forward lookup zone and choose New Host (A).
b. In the Name field type www. In the IP address field, type 192.168.1.25. Leave the other settings at their default value. This creates a host named www.example.com, which will resolve to 192.168.1.25. Click the Add Host button at the bottom.
c. Click OK.
d. Click Done.
Step 3: Create a Secondary Forward Lookup Zone
a. On the second Windows DNS server, launch the DNS administrative tool. Follow the instructions from Step 1.
b. Right-click Forward Lookup Zones and choose New Zone.
c. When the New Zone Wizard displays, click Next.
d. Click the Secondary zone radio button, and then click Next.
e. Type example.com in the Zone name field, and then click Next.
f. In the IP address field, type 192.168.1.10, which is the IP address of the primary server. Then click Add.
g. Click Next.
h. Click Finish.
i. When you view the secondary zone, notice that the www host record created on the primary server has transferred down to the secondary server.
j. To verify that it is a secondary zone and is read-only, right-click the zone and notice that there is not an option to create any records.
Step 4: Reflection
What is the major benefit of having a primary and secondary DNS server in a zone?
Primary DNS server: computer menjalankan fungsi name server baerdasarkan data base yang dimilikinya
Secondary DNS server: computer menjalankan fungsi name server berdasarkan database yang diambil dari ptimary server
