BIND on QNAP 209 (Linux)

NOTE: NAT’d DNS through a Netgear DG834N-V1 does not appear to work. I have tested on a Zyxel Prestige 660HW-61 and Netgear DGND3300 and these work.

Logon to the QNAP using SSL

cd /
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/bin:/opt/sbin
ipkg install bind

(or ./opt/bin/ipkg install bind)

Installing bind (9.5.0-P2-1) to root…

Configuring bind
Running post-install
You must now create your named.conf file
When it is installed in /opt/etc/named/named.conf, execute
/opt/etc/init.d/S09named start
to start service
You will probably also want to create rndc.conf by running
rndc-confgen.  Of course, you may want to set your name server
in the GUI to 127.0.0.1 or your local ip-address
Configuring openssl
Successfully terminated.

Now Setup Autostart.sh

mount /dev/mtdblock5 -t ext2 /tmp/config
cd /tmp/config

Create file called Autostart.sh Containing the following

******************

rm -rf /opt
ln -sf /share/MD0_DATA/optware/opt /opt
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/bin:/opt/sbin

for optscript in `ls /opt/etc/init.d/S* | grep -v ‘~’ | sort`
do
${optscript} start
done

***********************

Save and set the permissions

chmod +x /tmp/config/autorun.sh
umount /dev/mtdblock5

Create /opt/etc/named/named.conf

Alternative path /share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/Optware/etc/named

Create rndc secure key:

/opt/sbin/rndc-confgen -a

When you create a new zone you will need to reload the DNS config by running the following:

/opt/etc/init.d/S09named reload
