We have three DNS servers:

Modify records for a domain

On Backus, edit:

/etc/bind/db/<type>/<domain>.zone.

Remember to increment the zone's serial number!

Flush DNS cache

$ sudo rndc flush

Update records when using dynamic DNS

At LANs we tend to like to use dynamic DNS so we can refer to PCs by names. To update service-oriented records:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/bind9 stop
$ sudo vim /etc/bind/db.compsoc
  (Add CNAMEs, etc.)
  (Update serial)
$ sudo rm /etc/bind/*.jnl
$ sudo /etc/init.d/bind9 start
