Life like Opossum Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I have been looking at ways to do quite a few things around my house. On of which is to reduce the reliance I have on services provided by my ISP such as their default DNS server. I am aware of open and free DNS servers that are available, but I want to try and go further than that. My question is; What resources are required to host my own DNS for private use? That would be me and my room-mates, as well as anyone else whom I give access to my DNS. A slightly more hypothetical question I would like to ask is; What resources are required to run your own faux ISP? Obviously I'm not talking enterprise level here, just private. Again, just for me and my room-mates and possibly one day expanding to provide for outside sources, but this requires infrastructure, and lots of it! While I may be young and ambitious, I just wouldn't ever have the capital for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sorrow Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) just install bind or some similar DNS service on a local linux server. I ran a Bind server for a year or so before i made a Windows domain in my home. Linux based DNS can be challenging but it is very effective.
