You will need to manage the zone files yourself. This allows you to manage your local DNS using bind and also provide a public DNS server at the same time. Your local lan can still use your router as a DNS server for public and local DNS queries. This tutorial used “.intra” as the internal hostname suffix and 172.20.0.0/16 as the internal network. Also the tutorial assumes you have some experience with bind. Installation Install at least the following packages: bind-server bind-tools Deactivate the DNS functionality of dnsmasq by setting “port” to “0”. From this point on you will need “bind” for DNS forwarding and internal hostnames. Copy the file “/etc/named.conf.example” to “/etc/named.conf” and perform the following steps: Add your ISPs name servers to the “forwarders section” if you want to use them. Bind can also work without these since it can perform lookups using the global DNS servers. Add two zone files (for “.intra” and “.172.in-addr.arpa”) Local Zone Files /etc/bind/named.conf add: zone "intra" { type master; file "/etc/bind/zone.intra"; }; zone "172.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "/etc/bind/zone.172"; }; /etc/bind/zone.intra ; $TTL 604800 @ IN SOA intra. root.intra.

Note that the IP addresses must be reversed when creating PTR records. Test dig @localhost intra ANY should provide you with a valid response for your domain “intra”.
