  1. Install the latest Ubuntu LTS relase.
  2. Add the Atomia APT Repository to the server using:
    3. wget -q -O - http://public.apt.atomia.com/setup.sh.shtml | sed s/%distcode/`lsb_release -c | awk '{ print $2 }'`/g | sh
  3. Install the Bind-DLZ package we provide:
    4. apt-get install bind9-dlz-bdbhpt
  4. Install the Atomia DNS Bind-DLZ Nameserver:
    5. apt-get install atomiadns-nameserver
  5. Install the Atomia DNS Client utility:
    6. apt-get install atomiadns-client
  6. Edit the configuration file:
    7. edit /etc/atomiadns.conf
    1. Change the soap_uri row to contain the hostname of your Atomia DNS Master server
    2. Add a row looking like ‘server_name = hostname of this node’
    3. Example configuration:
      4. servername = your.name.server soap_uri = https://your.atomia.dns.master.server.com/atomiadns soap_cacert = /etc/atomiadns_soap_cert.crt soap_username = atomia soap_password = XXXXXX bdb_environment_path = /var/lib/bind/atomiadns_bdb bdb_filename = dns_data.db rndc_path = /usr/sbin/rndc slavezones_config = /etc/bind/slave/named-slavezones.conf.local slavezones_dir = /etc/bind/slave/zones
  7. If this is the first server in it’s nameserver group, then add the group (substitute groupname):
    8. atomiadnsclient --method AddNameserverGroup --arg groupname
  8. Add the nameserver as a subscriber of the zones in the configured Atomia DNS Master server (substitute groupname):
    9. atomiadnssync add_server groupname
  9. Start the daemon that fetches updates and replicates those to the local zone database:
    10. /etc/init.d/atomiadns-nameserver start
  10. Initiate a full reload of all zones in the Atomia DNS Master sever (all nameservers are reloaded):
    11. atomiadnssync full_reload_online
  11. Start BIND:
    12. /etc/init.d/bind9-dlz-bdbhpt start
