Ansible Bind Role

An ansible role for installing and managing bind, acting as primary and/or secondary nameserver. It does also copy the master zone files (bind_masterzones_path), but however, the zone files must exist.

Configuration:

Define where your zones files are stored:

  bind_masterzones_path: path/to/zones_dir

Configure the domains of the zones for a bind act as primary nameserver:

  bind_config_master_zones:
    - name: example.com
    - name: example2.com
    - name: example3.com

Optionally: If your zone should be synced with secondary nameservers, define the IPs of those:

  bind_config_master_allow_transfer:
    - 127.0.0.1
    - 127.0.0.2

Optionally: If your nameservers acts as a secondary nameserver, here is a sample setup:

  bind_config_slave_zones:
    - name: example.net
      masters: [ '127.1.0.1', '127.1.0.2' ]
      zones:
        - example.net
        - example.org

Optionally: If you wish to allow bind to perform external lookups, you can set your own DNS upstream addresses. Defaults to no recursion.

   bind_allow_recursion: yes
   bind_config_external_forwarders:
       - 8.8.8.8
       - 8.8.4.4

Dependencies

None.
