|
|
<div><p>If you are setting up a domain for the first time, you should plan
|
|
for demand and maintenance before creating zones.</p>
|
|
<p>It is important to determine how you divide your domain or subdomains into
|
|
zones, how to best serve network demand, access to the Internet, and how to
|
|
negotiate firewalls. These factors can be complex and must be dealt with case-by-case.
|
|
Refer to authoritative sources such as the O'Reilly DNS and BIND book for
|
|
in-depth guidelines.</p>
|
|
<p>If you configure a Domain Name System (DNS) zone as a dynamic zone, you
|
|
cannot make manual changes to zone data while the server is running. Doing
|
|
so might cause interference with incoming dynamic updates. If it is necessary
|
|
to make manual updates, stop the server, make the changes, and then restart
|
|
the server. Dynamic updates sent to a stopped DNS server will never be completed.
|
|
For this reason, you might want to configure a dynamic zone and a static zone
|
|
separately. You can do this by creating entirely separate zones, or by defining
|
|
a new subdomain, such as dynamic.mycompany.com, for those clients that will
|
|
be maintained dynamically.</p>
|
|
<p>iSeries™ DNS
|
|
provides a graphical interface for configuring your servers. In some cases,
|
|
the interface uses terminology or concepts that might be represented differently
|
|
in other sources. If you refer to other information sources when you are planning
|
|
for your DNS configuration, it might be helpful to remember the following:</p>
|
|
<ul><li>All zones and objects defined in a server are organized within the folders <span class="uicontrol">Forward
|
|
Lookup Zones</span> and <span class="uicontrol">Reverse Lookup Zones</span>.
|
|
Forward lookup zones are the zones that are used to map domain names to IP
|
|
addresses, such as A records. The reverse lookup zones are the zones that
|
|
are used to map IP addresses to domain names, such as PTR records.</li>
|
|
<li>iSeries DNS
|
|
refers to <em>primary zones</em> and <em>secondary zones</em>.</li>
|
|
<li>The interface uses <em>subzones</em>, which some sources refer to as <em>subdomains</em>.
|
|
A child zone is a subzone for which you have delegated responsibility to one
|
|
or more name servers.</li>
|
|
</ul>
