= INVESTIGATION 2: CONFIGURING THE DNS CLIENT =
Now that you've setup a DNS server on '''vm1 - ''', you will need to configure all our your VMs to use that as the '''default DNS server'''. You should know how to do that, but if you forgot - go back the procedure, refer to [[http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/OPS335_Lab_1 | #Making_Persistent_.28Permanent.29_Network_Setting_Changes Lab 1]] to remind yourself.
You can but you shouldn't set your host 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.
You have now gained experience with some common configuration settings for named, as well as common resource records.
'''Arrange evidence (command output) for each of these items on your screen, then ask your instructor to review them and sign off on the lab's completion:'''
