#Repeat the procedures to install '''bind''' , <u>edit</u> the appropriate configuration and data files for your '''vm2''' and '''vm3''' machines<br><br>'''TIP:''' Use the '''scp''' command to copy the existing named.conf and zone records from your vm1 to your other VMs<br>(although you may need to "tweak" the values in some of those data files).<br><br>
#Make certain that you correctly start and enable the named service on those virtual machines.
#You will need to configure your '''vm2''' and '''vm3''' to use that as the '''default DNS server'''. <br>You should know how to do that, but if you forgot the procedure, refer to [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/OPS335_Lab_1#Making_Persistent_.28Permanent.29_Network_Setting_Changes Lab 1].
You can, but you shouldn't, set your Host Machine to use '''vm1''' as the DNS server. DNS is a critical component of your network setup and if it's not working right - you won't even be able to look for a solution online (or get to this wiki page) on your host. Also your host is configured to be a DHCP client and it gets its DNS server assigned automatically.
