-====== Daemon ======
-Leela runs the standard Debian package of BIND 9.
-The ''named'' daemon on [[leela]] is responsible for both dealing with and forwarding local requests, and answering authoritatively external requests for the tardis.ed.ac.uk domain.
-====== Configuration ======
-{{OODSectionNotice}}
-The DNS philosophy of tardis is to use the machines' own names for A records and have as many CNAME's as necessary as aliases for their functions, i.e. ssh.tardis.ed.ac.uk is a CNAME for [[vortis]].
-The addresses in the tardis domain are distributed thusly:
-  *  1     Infrastructure                  192.168.1.0/24
-  *  2     Unused                          192.168.0.0/24
-  *  3     Services                        193.62.81.0/27
-  *  4     Cluster                         193.62.81.32/28
-  *  5     Gamesoc                         193.62.81.48/29
-  *  6     Unused                          193.62.81.56/29
-====== Editing ======
-The forward and reverse lookup databases are controlled by [[rcs]] to ensure that nobody can completely mess up the config with a mistake.  It is important to ''co -l'' before editing the files and ''ci -u'' when finished, or your changes will be lost (and you'll probably confuse and annoy whoever edits it next).
-All servers should also have PTR records created in the corresponding database files (for Reverse DNS).
-The files to edit are as follows:
-  *  ''db.tardis'': The tardis.ed.ac.uk forward lookup database (IN/CNAME).
-  *  ''db.193.62.81'': The tardis.ed.ac.uk reverse lookup database (PTR).
