Help on Running named on wl-500gP (name server)

[eemdz]

Hi All,

I am trying to setup wl-500gP so that it can act as a DNS nameserver for a domain. However, I am having two issues:

1. Port 53 is used by 'dnsmasq'. This shouldn't be stopped. It does DHCP and DNS for internal PCs / clients connecting to wl-500gP. So running named on port 53 is most likely not possible (or at least not a good idea).

2. I am having problems getting named to run. The package I installed is "bind - 9.5.0-P2-1". I tried to run named on a port other than port 53. However, the named server does not seem to run (most likely because I setup the config files, db files wrong).

Does anyone have any experience running named on wl-500gP? If yes, would it be possible to get some information?

Thanks,
Earl

It turns out that I did not configure named.conf properly. After configuring named.conf correctly, named starts up without error.

What suprises me is that it is able to start on port 53 even though it is in used (by dnsmasq I think).

Anyway, all good now.
