BIND CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT

+

Cobbler can optionally manage DNS configuration using BIND.

+

This feature is off by default and must be turned on by setting 'manage_dns' to 1 in +/var/lib/cobbler/settings. You may restrict the scope of zones +managed with the options 'manage_forward_zones' and +'manage_reverse_zones'. +

Cobbler will use /etc/cobbler/bind.template and + /etc/cobbler/zone.template as a starting point for the named.conf + and individual zone files, respectively. These files must be user + edited for the user's particular networking environment. Read the + file and understand how BIND works before proceeding.

+

The named.conf file as well as all zone files will be updated each time ``cobbler sync'' is run, and not until then, so it is important to remember to use ``cobbler sync'' when using this feature.

SERVICE DISCOVERY (AVAHI)

If the avahi-tools package is installed, cobblerd will broadcast it's presence on the network, allowing it to be discovered by koan with the koan --server=DISCOVER parameter.
