Okay, so here’s what I’ve got so far.

  1. Install bind.
  2. nano /etc/resolv.conf
  3. Make the only entry 127.0.0.1
  4. Configure Bind to be authoritative using the page you referenced earlier.

Doesn’t this just do the same thing as modifying the hosts file? Or will making it authoritative allow SRV lookups as well?

Also, what happens when my PBX decides it needs to do a lookup I haven’t configured as authoritative in bind? Can bind be configured to be authoritative for things it knows and caching for the rest?
