Chapter 6. Managing DNS by using Capsule
Satellite can manage DNS records by using your Capsule. DNS management contains updating and removing DNS records from existing DNS zones. A Capsule has multiple DNS providers that you can use to integrate Satellite with your existing DNS infrastructure or deploy a new one.
After you have enabled DNS, your Capsule can manipulate any DNS server that complies with RFC 2136 by using the dns_nsupdate provider. Other providers provide more direct integration, such as dns_infoblox for Infoblox.
Available DNS providers
-
dhcp_infoblox– For more information, see Chapter 7, Using Infoblox as DHCP and DNS providers. -
dns_nsupdate– Dynamic DNS update using nsupdate. For more information, see Section 6.1, “Configuring dns_nsupdate”. -
dns_nsupdate_gss– Dynamic DNS update with GSS-TSIG. For more information, see Section 4.4.1, “Configuring dynamic DNS update with GSS-TSIG authentication”.
6.1. Configuring dns_nsupdate
The dns_nsupdate DNS provider manages DNS records using the nsupdate utility. You can use dns_nsupdate with any DNS server compatible with RFC2136. By default, dns_nsupdate installs the ISC BIND server. For installation without ISC BIND, see Section 4.1, “Configuring Capsule Server with external DNS”.
