multiple pages: replace all die.net links (#5528)
Most of the links were replaced by manned.org,
except when there are more up-to-date sources (like `ifup`)
or first-party sources (like `sftp`).

named

Execute the DNS (Dynamic Name Service) server daemon that converts host names to IP addresses and vice versa. More information: https://manned.org/named.

  • Read the default configuration file /etc/named.conf, read any initial data and listen for queries:

named

  • Read a custom configuration file:

named -c {{path/to/named.conf}}

  • Use IPv4 or IPv6 only, even if the host machine is capable of utilising other protocols:

named {{-4|-6}}

  • Listen for queries on a specific port instead of the default port 53:

named -p {{port}}

  • Run the server in the foreground and do not daemonize:

named -f
