✅ Features:

🔸 Domain Management: BIND assists in the management and resolution of domain names in a network environment, converting domain names to IP addresses and vice versa.

🔸 Support for Multiple DNS Record Types: BIND supports various DNS record types such as A (address), MX (mail exchange), CNAME (canonical name), and many others, providing high flexibility for DNS administration.

🔸 Zone Management: Allows the management of the scope of domain names through the concept of zones, including Forward Zones for forwarding and Reverse Zones for reverse resolution.

🔸 High Security: BIND incorporates high-security features such as TSIG (Transaction Signature) for signing and verifying DNS query signatures, ensuring the integrity of DNS data.

✅ Advantages:

🔸 Flexibility and Robustness: BIND is a powerful and flexible DNS solution, well-suited for both large and small enterprise environments.

🔸 Strong Community Support: With extensive support from the broader Internet community, BIND is regularly maintained and updated, ensuring stability and security.

Hello, I am trying to follow your tutorial and at the step where I configure named.conf.options I get the warning that there is an address/prefix length mismatch. I don't know how to fix it since my IP address differs from yours. Is there any way you can help?
