30.17. Configuring the BIND DNS Server Module

The BIND module has several options that can be set by clicking in the Module Config link on the main page. Those listed under System configuration control where Webmin looks for the BIND configuration file, PID file and program on your system, are initially set to match the BIND package that comes with your operating system. Normally they do not need to be changed, unless you have compiled and installed the DNS server software yourself.

Table 30.1 lists both the configurable options that you can safely change (in the first three sections) and those that are related to file locations which generally do not need to be edited (in the fourth). Most of the options only need to be changed by people who have customized their BIND setup or run large name servers. For the average sites, the defaults will work fine and there is no need to adjust the module configuration.
