Another IP assigned to BIND howto

[bipinkdas]

Hi List
One of my client needs to Assign another IP for his DNS server on the same machine. For example now bind is listening on 123.34.56.78, and he would like to listen on 123.34.56.79 also. I am a newbie in BIND,And my question is how can we open 53 port to another IP which was binded on the same network card ? Is it possible?

If anybody come across the same problem,please help

By default BIND answers on all ports. So the question is really about your firewall.

Do you use a firewall? If so you open port 53 in both directions for both TCP/IP and for UDP for the new IP#.

And you make sure that the IP# is installed on the server; you can do that either through your OS distribution, or through DirectAdmin.
