DNS Server Installation, Continued
The last thing we still need is a pointer, which points to our subnet 192.168.1.0.
Here, the fully qualified domain name of the server must be given, which is testserver.testdomain.com in this case.
The best way to check if the DNS configuration was successful is via an nslookup, a ping. So that addresses and names outside the local network can also be addressed, we must still inform the DNS server about which server is higher-ranking than it is for external requests.
For the sake of simplicity, we enter the IP address of our DSL router as the DNS forwarder. It will automatically forward requests to the DNS server provided by the Internet provider. You could also enter this directly here.
