Zimbra as DNS server of multiple vlans

Post by damend »

Good day,

I would like to ask a noob question.
Currently we only have one local /24 network and using zimbra as our dns server.

In the near future, we are planning to implement a multiple vlans, using switch virtual interface.
How or what config do we need to do on the zimbra side?
as i can see in the "named.conf" (screenshot below)

is it necessary to add the vlan networks under the "allow-query"?
if yes, what other things do we need to add or change?

or is it enough for all the networks to ping each other, and they can all continue using zimbra emails and as a dns server?


any inputs will be much appreciated.

You'll need to specify the networks that are allowed to query; my BIND entry below

Code: Select all

 
allow-query     { localhost;192.168.0.0/16;10.10.10.0/24; };
 
I strongly suggest that you setup a standalone DNS and do not use your Zimbra server for that.
