I have a Centos 5.2 server which runs named for DNS resolution - it doesn't hold any information of its own, and just forwards all requests. From the named.conf:<br />
<br />
options {<br />
[...]<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; forwarders { 1.1.1.1; 1.1.1.2; };<br />
};<br />
<br />
All other lines in named.conf are left as default.<br />
<br />
I want to change the configuration so requests for anything under newdomain.com get passed to 22.22.22.22, while requests for any other address go to 1.1.1.1 or 1.1.1.2<br />
<br />
How can I configure the DNS on this server to do this?<br />

Conditional DNS forwarding with named on Linux

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
