Start / Stop /Restart BIND DNS Server

Introduction

For testing purposes I am using Univention with bind9. The greater goal is to use AD/SAMBA from Univention. After testing for a couple of weeks suddenly some DNS addresses do not get resolved. The same problems occurred on Zentyal.

So far I couldn't find a reason for this misbehavior. However, a restart of the bind9 service seems to patch the problem.

Debian based Linux

Start the service

service bind9 start

Stop the service

service bind9 stop

Restart the service

service bind9 restart

Reload the service

This will become necessary of a configuration file is changed.

service bind9 reload

Check status

service bind9 status

Fedora based Linux

Start the service

systemctl start named

Stop the service

systemctl stop named

Restart the service

systemctl restart named

Check status

systemctl status named
