Installing/Configuring BIND9 For ENUM/DNS On Ubuntu

This document provides instructions for installing and configuring BIND9 to serve as an ENUM DNS server on Ubuntu. It involves installing BIND9, editing configuration files like named.conf and named.conf.options, creating a zone file db.e164.arpa that defines ENUM records mapping phone numbers to SIP URIs, and testing lookups with dig. Configuring BIND9 in this way allows it to resolve phone numbers to SIP endpoints for use in IMS networks and VoIP systems.

How to install BIND9 as ENUM Server on Ubuntu

Why do you need an ENUM server?

ENUM server works like DNS server but it matches Phone number with SIP URI instead of IP
and URL. Some IMS Core systems use this kind of resolutions.

Installing BIND9

I'm going to explain this for Ubuntu Server, it is quite easy to install but tricky to configure at the
begining.

1) apt-get install bind9

2) After installation succefully completed, go to /etc/bind/ directory. You need to edit


following files only.

[Link]

[Link] (actually we will create it in next step)

[Link] (actually we will create it in next step)

3) [Link]

add following line

include "/etc/bind/[Link]";

4) [Link]
add following line

zone "[Link]" {

type master;

file "/etc/bind/[Link]";

};

5) [Link]

$TTL 86400

[Link]. IN SOA [Link]. [Link]. (

2004011522 ; Serial no., based on date

21600 ; Refresh after 6 hours

3600 ; Retry after 1 hour

604800 ; Expire after 7 days

3600 ; Minimum TTL of 1 hour

[Link]. 43200 IN NS [Link].

[Link]. 43200 IN A [Link]

[Link].[Link].[Link]. NAPTR 10 100 "u" "E2U+sip" "!^.*$!sip:info@[Link]!".

[Link].[Link].[Link]. NAPTR 10 101 "u" "E2U+h323"


"!^.*$!h323:info@[Link]!".

[Link].[Link].[Link]. NAPTR 10 102 "u" "E2U+msg"


"!^.*$![Link]

[Link].[Link].[Link]. NAPTR 100 10 "U" "SIP+E2U"


"!^.*$!sip:16133957218@[Link]!".

6) [Link]
#logging {

# channel query-log {

# file "/var/log/query-log" versions 2 size 10m;

# print-time yes;

# print-category yes;

# };

# category queries { query-log; } ;

#};

#options {

# directory "/var/cache/bind";

// If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want

// to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source

// directive below. Previous versions of BIND always asked

// questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 and later use an unprivileged

// port by default.

// query-source address * port 53;

// If your ISP provided one or more IP addresses for stable

// nameservers, you probably want to use them as forwarders.

// Uncomment the following block, and insert the addresses replacing

// the all-0's placeholder.

// forwarders {

// [Link];
// };

# auth-nxdomain no; # conform to RFC1035

#};

7) You need to restart bind service

/etc/init.d/bind9 restart

8) Now you can query your request with dig tool

dig @ [Link].[Link].[Link] -t NAPTR

You suppose to get following answer

;; ANSWER SECTION:

[Link].[Link].[Link]. 86400 IN NAPTR 100 10 "U" "SIP+E2U"


"!^.*$!sip:16133957218@[Link]!" .
