Registering BIND DNS Servers in the System

Register the BIND DNS servers that you prepared in the system. To do this, perform the following steps for each server:

1. In the provider control panel, go to Services > Domains.

2. Select the DNS tab.

3. Select the Nameservers subtab.

4. Click Register DNS service.

5. In the Type list, select Bind.

6. Specify the following parameters:

   • hostname: The FQDN of the server. For example: ns01.provider.com

   • service.ip.address: The public IP address of the server. For example: 8.8.8.8

   • ssh.ip.address: The private IP address of the server. For example: 10.10.10.10

   • ssh.port: The SSH port of the server. For example: 22

   • ssh.login: The login name of the dedicated user that will be used by the system to perform provisioning operations on the server. For example: binduser

   • ssh.key: The private SSH key of the dedicated user. For example:

     -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
     ...
     -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

   • ssh.key.passphrase: The passphrase of the private SSH key.

   • ssh.fingerprint: The fingerprint of the public ED25519 SSH key of the server. The system will use this fingerprint to validate the authenticity of the server.

     For example: SHA256:iri9QfrN6HBqrMa0pdBv5IgdMm8XMRAZ1H7WNZ1jKtk

     To obtain this fingerprint, execute the following command on the server:

     for f in /etc/ssh/ssh_host_*_key; do ssh-keygen -l -f "$f"; done

     For example:

     for f in /etc/ssh/ssh_host_*_key; do ssh-keygen -l -f "$f"; done
     ...
     256 SHA256:iri9QfrN6HBqrMa0pdBv5IgdMm8XMRAZ1H7WNZ1jKtk /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub (ED25519)
     ...

   • bind.zones.dir: The absolute path to the directory for forward DNS zones. For example: /var/named

   • bind.secondary.zones.dir: The path to the directory for secondary DNS zones. You must specify this path relative to the path that you specified in bind.zones.dir. For example: cbc_secondary_zones

   • bind.reverse.zones.dir: The path to the directory for reverse DNS zones. You must specify this path relative to the path that you specified in bind.zones.dir. For example: cbc_reverse_zones

   • bind.forward.zones.file: The path to the file that forward DNS zone files will be included into. You must specify this path relative to the path that you specified in bind.zones.dir. For example: cbc_forward_zone_list

   • bind.reverse.zones.file: The path to the file that reverse DNS zone files will be included into. You must specify this path relative to the path that you specified in bind.zones.dir. For example: cbc_reverse_zone_list

7. Check the values that you specified and click Submit.

After registering the servers, you can proceed to creating DNS resources in the system, as described in this section.
