BIND DNS Server Configuration, I'm Lost
I hope you will forgive me for thinking that setting up a DNS server should be easy. It turns out to be quite difficult ... especially if you've never done it before.
To reiterate a bit, I previously asked if anyone could recommend a personal DNS server for Windows XP for use in a development project.
My main desire is to host a DNS server that presents the following lookup table:
Address | IP
------------------+--------------
*.devdomain1.dev | 192.168.10.2
*.devdomain2.dev | 192.168.10.2
Do you know how to set this up in BIND 9? Or maybe there is an easier solution that I forgot. I know I could add individual subdomains to my HOSTS file, but since we have many subdomains that need to be supported across multiple dev machines, I would rather have a simple template.

A zone file like this should suffice (on my system this will be in / etc / bind / zones / devdomain 2.dev.hosts)
devdomain2.dev. IN SOA localhost. johannesh.devdomain2.dev. (
1102522753
10800
3600
604800
38400
)
devdomain2.dev. IN NS localhost.
*.devdomain2.dev. IN A 192.168.10.2
Then my /etc/bind/named.conf.local referenced it like this
zone "devdomain2.dev" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/zones/devdomain2.dev.hosts";
};
(Note that you can fully adapt this domain-only .dev pattern, or configure a different zone for devdomain1)
