Install with opkg if you are using some relatively new version of OpenWrt.
# opkg install bind-server
Adjust your /etc/bind/named.conf
# cat /etc/bind/named.conf options { directory "/etc/bind"; forwarders { 195.170.0.1; 8.8.8.8; }; listen-on { 127.0.0.1; 10.29.74.1; }; allow-query-on { any; }; allow-query { any; }; allow-recursion { any; }; auth-nxdomain no; # conform to RFC1035 }; zone "localhost" { type master; file "/etc/bind/db.local"; }; zone "127.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "/etc/bind/db.127"; }; zone "0.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "/etc/bind/db.0"; }; zone "255.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "/etc/bind/db.255"; }; zone "awmn" { type forward; forwarders { 10.19.143.12; 10.0.0.1; 10.19.143.13; }; }; zone "10.in-addr.arpa" { type forward; forwarders { 10.19.143.12; 10.0.0.1; 10.19.143.13; }; }; zone "ewn" { type forward; forwarders { 10.145.7.150; 10.146.210.130; }; }; zone "mswn" { type forward; forwarders { 10.148.50.2; 10.148.51.2; }; }; zone "cywn" { type forward; forwarders { 10.215.255.5; }; }; zone "iwmn" { type forward; forwarders { 10.205.3.2; }; }; zone "pwmn" { type forward; forwarders { 10.140.14.67; 10.140.19.209; 10.140.14.73; 10.143.4.1; }; }; zone "wana" { type forward; forwarders { 10.224.6.66; 10.224.3.35; }; }; zone "her.wn" { type forward; forwarders { 10.176.0.10; 10.176.0.11; }; };
Restart Bind
# /etc/init.d/named restart
Put it in your /etc/resolv.conf
# echo "nameserver 127.0.0.1" > /etc/resolv.conf
Done!
