Introductory Message
For the facilitator:
Welcome to the (Computer System Servicing(CSS) Grade-12) Self Learning Module
on (Install and Configure Domain Name System DNS) !
This Self Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by
educators from Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its Officer-In-Charge
Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A. Agustin in partnership
with the Local Government of Pasig through its mayor, Honorable Victor Ma. Regis
N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum using the
Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) while overcoming their personal,
social, and economic constraints in schooling.
This learning material hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs namely:
Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking and Character while
taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.
In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:
Notes to the Teacher
This contains helpful tips or strategies
that will help you in guiding the learners.
As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

CONFIGURING DNS
After installing DNS, you have to go Start —> All Programs —> Administrative
Tools —> DNS for managing DNS server.
Whenever configuring your DNS server, you must be know about following
concepts:
Forward lookup zone
Reverse lookup zone
Zone types
A forward lookup zone is helps to resolve host names to IP addresses. A reverse
lookup zone allows a DNS server to discover the DNS name of the host. Basically, it
is the exact opposite of a forward lookup zone. A reverse lookup zone is not
required, but it is easy to configure and will allow for your Windows Server 2008
Server to have full DNS functionality.
When selecting a DNS zone type, you have the following options: Active
Directory (AD) Integrated, Standard Primary, and Standard Secondary. AD
Integrated stores the database information in AD and allows for secure
updates to the database file. This option will appear only if AD is configured.
If it is configured and you select this option, AD will store and replicate your
zone files.
A Standard Primary zone stores the database in a text file. This text file can be
shared with other DNS servers that store their information in a text file. Finally, a
Standard Secondary zone simply creates a copy of the existing database from
another DNS server. This is primarily used for load balancing.
Step 1: Right Click on the name of the
server in the DNS management console,
Select on the Configure DNS server.
https://www.itzgeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/WIN-2008-DNS0011.jpg
Step 2: Click on Create forward and
reverse lookup zone, then click next.
https://www.itzgeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/WIN-2008-DNS-Forward-Zone.jpg
Step 3: Click on the Yes,create the
forward lookup zone now on the
forward lookup zone window.
https://www.itzgeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/WIN-2008-DNS-Configure-Forward-Zone.jpg
Step 4: Click on the desired zone that
you want to create, in this case Primary
Zone.
https://www.itzgeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/WIN-2008-DNS-Primary-Zone.jpg
Step 5: Type the Name of the Zone and
click Next.
https://www.itzgeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/WIN-2008-DNS-Zone-Name.jpg
Step 6: Click Next on the Zone File Name.
Step 7: Select the Allow both nonsecure and Secure dynamic updates and click
Next to Continue.
Step 8: Select Yes, I want to create reverse lookup zone now, Click Next to
continue.
Step 10: Select Primary Zone in Zone creating Window.
Step 11: Choose whether you want
to create IPv4 or IPv6 reverse lookup
zone.( in this sample choose IPv4
Reverse lookup zone).

Step 13: Click Next on the Reverse lookup Zone file name window.
Step 14: Select the Allow both nonsecure and Secure dynamic updates and click
Next to Continue.
Step 15: Select No, I should not forward
queries, then click Next.

Managing DNS Server:
After the installation and configuration of the forward and reverse lookup zone, now
the server is ready to create the other records associated with the DNS and Zones.
There are several records available, here is the listing of some of the important
records.
Start of Authority (SOA) Pointer (PTR)
Name Servers Canonical Name (CNAME) or Alias
Host (A) Mail Exchange (MX)

DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM (DNS) INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION
Windows administrators use DNS server to the Domain Name System (DNS) in a
hierarchical distributed naming system for computers, services, or any resource
connected to the Internet or a private network. It associates various of information
with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities. Most importantly,
it translates domain names meaningful to humans into the numerical identifiers
associated with networking equipment for the purpose of locating and addressing
these devices worldwide.
Before using, we need to install the DNS server and configuring the following
concepts:
Forward lookup zone
Reverse lookup zone
Zone types
VALUI NG
We have learned How to configure and install Domain Name System (DNS), briefly
discuss each step on your own ideas.
