Setting up bind9/DNS

Show all headers | View raw

Greetings,

I have apache2 installed on my local machine with a bunch of 
virtual hosts that I use for test and development of html, 
wordpress, etc. It works fine to access the virt hosts 
locally, but I want to access them from other systems on my 
local network; windows/IE of various versions, smart phones, 
tablets, laptops, etc.

They all can access my base host name because my DSL 
modem/router has DHCP and DNS in it and when it sets up an 
address with DHCP it puts an entry in its DNS and everything 
is fine. (All systems on the local net use the modem/router 
for dns.) But nothing like this happens with the virtual hosts!

I was thinking that I could setup a nameserver on my machine 
with enries in it for the virtual hosts and have my local 
network address in the list of nameservers in my 
modem/router, and that is where I need the help.

I have installed bind9, running on buster. So how do I set 
up the name server and populate it with the info for my 
virtual hosts? Pointers to forums, cookbooks, etc. would be 
appreciated as well as hints and tips!

TIA!
Dennnis
