3 // Instructions for /etc/dnsextd.conf (this file)
5 // In most cases, you should not need to change these default options in
6 // the "options" section below. The dnsextd daemon will receive DNS packets
7 // on port 53, and forward them on as appropriate to BIND on localhost:5030.
9 // You need to edit the "zone" statement below to give the name of your
10 // dynamic zone that will be accepting Wide-Area Bonjour DNS updates.
12 // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
14 // Instructions for /etc/named.conf
16 // In /etc/named.conf you will need to modify the "options" section to
17 // tell BIND to accept packets from localhost:5030, like this:
19 // listen-on port 5030 { 127.0.0.1; };
21 // You also need a "zone" statement in /etc/named.conf to tell BIND the update
22 // policy for your dynamic zone. For example, within a small closed private
23 // network, you might allow anyone to perform updates. To do that, you just
24 // permit any and all updates coming from dnsextd on the same machine:
26 // zone "my-dynamic-subdomain.example.com."
27 // { type master; file "db.xxx"; allow-update { 127.0.0.1; }; };
29 // On a machine connected to the Internet or other large open network,
30 // you'll want to limit updates to only users with keys. For example,
31 // you could choose to allow anyone with a DNS key on your server to
32 // perform updates in your dynamic zone, like this:
34 // key keyname. { algorithm hmac-md5; secret "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv=="; };
35 // zone "my-dynamic-subdomain.example.com." in
38 // file "db.my-dynamic-subdomain.example.com";
39 // update-policy { grant * wildcard *.my-dynamic-subdomain.example.com.; };
42 // You could use a single key which you give to all authorized users, but
43 // it is better (though more work) to create a unique key for each user.
