# Check that the ''named'' service is running using the '''ps ax''' command (perhaps combined with '''grep'''), and separately, the '''systemctl''' command (if necessary), or check the '''/var/log/messages''' file for troubleshooting purposes.
# Once you are certain that the ''named'' service had started and runs without errors, then set it to '''start automatically''' (i.e. enable the named service) when this virtual machine boots.
# You also need to set it self '''host(127.0.0.1)''' as the primary domain name server ('''DNS1''') for your '''host''' machine to your '''host machine's ifcfg file''' <br />
# If your host's external facing interface (ens33) is on DHCP, you will need to also add PEERDNS=NO to ifcfg file to prevent DHCP server from assigning the original DNS server (i.e. 192.168.40.2 which is used as forwarder instead by the DNS server you are setting up) <br /><br />'''NOTE:''' 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].<br><br>
# Now that you know the service works, '''add the resource records necessary for it to provide forward lookups of the other machines in your virtual network''' (hint: You should only need three more records) and restart the service.
