provide general name service for a variety of applications and is
based on the Berkeley Internet Name Daemon (BIND).
To prepare this directory for building, run the command "./configure".
configure takes a number of options; use "./configure --help" to find
out what they are. Hesiod requires a vaguely ANSI compiler to build;
gcc will do.
Run "make" or "make all" to build the Hesiod library.
Run "make install" to install the Hesiod library.
You will want to create a configuration file named hesiod.conf in the
sysconfdir (/usr/local/etc/hesiod.conf by default) on your client
machines, reading something like:
rhs=.your.domain
lhs=.ns
The value of rhs can be overridden at run time by the environment
variable HES_DOMAIN. The value ".ns" for lhs is an unfortunate
historical convention; ".hs" or "hesiod" would have been better.
Nevertheless, you probably want to use ".ns" for compatibility with
existing Hesiod domains.
To create Hesiod information on your central name servers, you need to
make them authoritative for the domain ns.your.domain with a line in
named.boot reading something like:
primary ns.your.domain named.hesiod
And then in named.hesiod, you need data looking something like:
; SOA and NS records.
@ IN SOA server1.your.domain admin-address.your.domain (
40000 ; serial - database version number
1800 ; refresh - sec servers
300 ; retry - for refresh
3600000 ; expire - unrefreshed data
7200 ) ; min
NS server1.your.domain
NS server2.your.domain
