dns-lab-config

Configured a BIND9 DNS server with forward and reverse lookup zones for a simulated lab network. Verified correct name resolution using nslookup and dig across multiple subnets.

Structure

• docker-compose.yml — spins up BIND9 container
• config/named.conf — DNS server configuration
• config/zones/lab.myviewsontech.local.zone — forward lookup zone
• config/zones/reverse.zone — reverse lookup zone

Usage

docker compose up -d

Verification

# Forward lookup
nslookup server01.lab.myviewsontech.local 127.0.0.1

# Reverse lookup  
nslookup 192.168.10.10 127.0.0.1

# Using dig
dig @127.0.0.1 server02.lab.myviewsontech.local
