Linux: Debian stable (currently version 7)

Packages:

apt-get install install bind9 isc-dhcp-server

Create a key required for DHCP server to update the DNS zones:

/usr/sbin/rndc-confgen -a

This will create /etc/bind/rndc.key, whose contents will look something like this:

key "rndc-key" {
algorithm hmac-md5;
secret "+zZSeeetHWFdNwECit1Ktw==";
};

BIND configuration

Configuration files:

/etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost
10.0.60.60 dns.lab.loc dns

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

/etc/bind/named.conf.local

// Do any local configuration here
// Consider adding the 1918 zones here, if they are not used in your organization
include "/etc/bind/zones.rfc1918";

include "/etc/bind/rndc.key";

zone "lab.loc" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.lab.loc";
allow-update { key rndc-key; };
};

zone "60.0.10.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.10.0.60";
allow-update { key rndc-key; };
};

/etc/bind/named.conf.options

(just to setup the external forwarders)

options {
directory "/var/cache/bind";

// If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
// to talk to, you may need to fix the firewall to allow multiple
// ports to talk. See http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/800113

// If your ISP provided one or more IP addresses for stable
// nameservers, you probably want to use them as forwarders.
// Uncomment the following block, and insert the addresses replacing
// the all-0's placeholder.

forwarders {
<strong>208.67.222.222;208.67.220.220;8.8.8.8;8.8.4.4;</strong>
};

//========================================================================
// If BIND logs error messages about the root key being expired,
// you will need to update your keys. See https://www.isc.org/bind-keys
//========================================================================

DHCP configuration

Here there is just one file that has to be modified: dhcpd.conf

/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf

Here we need to enter the key in plain text.

# DHCPD
ddns-updates on;
ddns-update-style interim;
update-static-leases on;
authoritative;
key rndc-key { algorithm hmac-md5; secret +zZSeeetHWFdNwECit1Ktw==;}
allow unknown-clients;
use-host-decl-names on;
default-lease-time 1814400; #21 days
max-lease-time 1814400; #21 days
log-facility local7;

# lab.loc DNS zones
zone lab.loc. {
primary localhost; # This server is the primary DNS server for the zone
key rndc-key; # Use the key we defined earlier for dynamic updates
}
zone 60.0.10.in-addr.arpa. {
primary localhost; # This server is the primary DNS server for the zone
key rndc-key; # Use the key we defined earlier for dynamic updates
}

# lab.loc LAN scope
subnet 10.0.60.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 10.0.60.100 10.0.60.200;

option routers 10.0.60.2;
option domain-name-servers 10.0.60.60;
option domain-name "lab.loc";
ddns-domainname "lab.loc.";
ddns-rev-domainname "in-addr.arpa.";
}

# lab.loc STATIC assigned group
group {
host freenas.lab.loc {
hardware ethernet 00:0c:29:18:af:b4;
fixed-address 10.0.60.80;
ddns-hostname "freenas";
}
host esxi01.lab.loc {
hardware ethernet 00:0c:29:d4:14:ce;
fixed-address 10.0.60.71;
ddns-hostname "esxi01";
}
host esxi02.lab.loc {
hardware ethernet 00:0c:29:2c:30:fd;
fixed-address 10.0.60.72;
ddns-hostname "esxi02";
}
host esxi03.lab.loc {
hardware ethernet 00:0c:29:46:90:fd;
fixed-address 10.0.60.73;
ddns-hostname "esxi03";
}
}

Once everything is configured, just restart bind and dhcp:

/etc/init.d/bind9 restart && /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server restart
