LocalRoot: Getting Started
To deploy the LocalRoot service within your recursive resolver, please follow these steps:
1 Create a TSIG key to protect the transactions.
2 Create a server entry for your recursive resolver using it's public IP address.
3
Add the configuration snippet from the link
in the Config column
of your list of servers page
for ISC's Bind,
add it to your recursive resolver's configuration file and restart your server.
Note: (other nameserver configuration coming soon)
Note: If you
are using views (eg, internal recursive and external
authoratative), the configuration for the root zone copy will
need to be put inside the internal view.
4
Wait for your server to perform it's first AXFR transfer of the
root zone (which should be immediate). Once the LocalRoot primary
server sees your first transfer, it will start sending your DNS server
notifications too. You can tell when everything is up and working
properly as the final checkbox for your server in
the your list of servers will change from
a red X () to a
checkbox (
) within
about 5 minutes of the first transfer that the LocalRoot primary
server sees, and the timestamp will update to the last seen transfer.
