DNS

Ok this is possibly the easiest thing on earth but I didn’t see any clear documentation on the topic apart from a simple text file which actually helped.

The server runs into a FreeBSD jail, I won’t cover this part as there are plenty of good documentation on this matter already.

The first step is obviously to install nsd, for example using pkg:

In order to reach my network from places where I can’t connect to my VPN, I wrote a very simple Dynamic DNS system using dnspython, and it turned out to be fairly easy.

Suite de mes aventures dans le monde merveilleux de la haute dispo grace à OpenLDAP. Conseil du jour: bind sdb ldap, c’est une tuerie (/usr/ports/dns/bind9-sdb-ldap). Hint dépatouillé par monseigneur spoty: ne pas oublier de créer un etc/hosts dans le chroot de bind, le cas écheant il stalle comme une grosse merde avant de contacter le serveur LDAP. Un peu de conf :
