question on BIND/DNS
Jul. 26th, 2007 12:46 pmOkay... my figuring goes like this.
I have a domain out there. The domain points to an advertising page ("domain name parked at incompetentregistrar.com!").
It would seem to me that if I used that domain to set up BIND on my home network, it would have no effect on the outside world. Inside my home network, I wouldn't be able to browse to that advertising page any more, because my home's name server would point to whatever I pointed it to.
After all, it seems quite clear to me that BIND (nor Windows DNS) does not send out "HEY! I'm right here!" messages.
Um. Yeah. It does seem quite clear to me. Can anyone verify that this is, in fact, *true*? Or let me know if there's a way to set up a deliberately invalid domain to do testing of setup?
