As a reference i used the book DNS & BIND 4th Edition and the FreeBSD documentation found here.

This how-to will focus on getting 2 dns servers up and running, one primary & one slave which is preferred way of doing it, I will mark steps that requires different configuration on primary & secondary for easier tracking on what needs to be done in regards to configuration. I will use example.org and ip range 1.2.3.x as a reference in this how-to for better control of zone names and so forth.

In this how-to i will describe on how to install a static DNS service on a Windows 2008 Server Core. The benefits of this is a slimmed down version of Windows running only the bare essentials but still highly configurable.
