Setting up BIND9 for Internal DNS on RHEL9 #

This guide covers setting up BIND9/named for internal reverse/forward DNS resolution on a RHEL9 server. Unlike public authoritative DNS servers, internal DNS servers provide recursive resolution for your internal network and handle local domain queries.

All IP addresses, network ranges, and hostnames in this guide are examples. Replace them with your actual values.

For the entirety of the guide we’ll be running every single command as root.
