CentOS 7.x automated setup of bind dns server

Home > CentOS > CentOS 7.x > DevOps > Automated Configuration > Ansible > Ansible Playbooks > CentOS 7.x automated setup of bind dns server

The ansible script does basic configuration without MX records and does not supports multiple-zones with different hosts.

Variables are as follows:

zone_names

Names of zones. These must end with dot(.).

zone_address

A address of zone. That is if you defining example.com zone, what address should be resolved when you try http://example.com or ping example.com

name_server

You must have a DNS server. Hostname of DNS server from servers list defined later should be mentioned here.

servers

List of servers with name and IP
