    How to setup DNS for apache

    I have successfully setup my DNS Server (BIND) on a IP which is a static ip i.e. at 192.168.1.d (on a CentOS 6 machine)

    I have a small network in my office and previously I have to change entry for everyone host on network in /etc/hosts file. But now I have changed their name server to the above IP Address.

    I made a domain mycompany.com and added entries for each host in both forward and reverse zone files which is working fine.

    I have also installed apache webserver at 192.168.1.d. Previously I was making an entry into the /etc/hosts file for example

    192.168.1.d www.mywebsite.c om

    Now i have setup DNS Server but i dont know how I host websites at my local network. For example if anyone in my network request for a website www.mywebsite.c om then they should be redirected to above DNS server and that DNS will tell apache to serve the request.

    What changes should i made to get it working? I have tried to make a subdomain like mywebsite.mycom pany.com but i dont know how to set it up.

    Please help me.

    Thanking you.
    Regards

    you should define an CNAME record for your webserver in your DNS
