New blog post "My Own DNS Server At Home - Part 1: IPv4" wherein I install and configure a basic BIND DNS server for my network at home. Part 2 will cover IPv6. It's quite hardcore. So if it feels a bit overwhelming, just read it as a nice story and not as a HOWTO. DNS with BIND is a bit demanding, but I find it fascinating!

My Own DNS Server At Home - Part 1: IPv4
āItās always DNSā is a famous meme among network people. Name resolution is technically quite simple. Itās ājustā translating a hostname like jan.wildeboer.net to an IP address. What could possibly go wrong? I am a radical optimist and detail-obsessed knowledge collector, so I decided to find out. As part of my goal to make my home network a little island of Digital Sovereignty, meaning that everything at home should JustWorkā¢, even with no working internet connection, a DNS server is needed.
