Terminology

IP (Internet Protocol)

Numbers that identify your system on the internet and allows you connections.

There are two types of IP: IPv4 and IPv6

IPv4 looks like 89.176.197.177
IPv6 looks like fe80::ba70:f4ff:fe34:36e5

NS (Name Server)

Software that runs on servers which turns domain into an IP on request

Domain

Human memorable alias to IP i.e. Google.com is a domain that points to the IP 172.217.23.238 (as of 15.10.2020) with the help of a NS or hosts file (deprecated as none likes going to the townhall to get file on their system).

ISP (Internet Service Provider)

The person/company who took a cable (or anything that can transmit data) and connected it over the world allowing you the internet connection.

TLD (Top-Level Domain name)

NS authority that provides IP to specified domain extension, for example in google.com the com is top level domain

What the fuck is DNS Server?

By default your system can only reach IP adresses i.e 187.489.114.23 which are hard to memorize by humanoids and so DNS was created to allow you to use https://google.com and expect it to work.

In practice the connection for google.com usually works as Your_System -> ISP -> NS -> Root NS -> .com name server (tld name server) -> ns.google.com -> IP

There are around 20 name servers which are hardcodded ran by NASA(?) and stuff.

We are using bind9 made by Internet Systems Consortium for our DNS server

Install net-dns/bind
Nuke it's /{etc,var}/bind dir and create a new directory /etc/bind with bind:bind 0777 rights.
Run rndc-confgen

# Generate rndc.conf file
rndc-confgen -A hmac-sha512 -b 512 -t /bedrock/strata/exherbo/var/bind -u bind > /etc/bind/rndc.conf

Configure /etc/bind/named.conf respecting FHS 3.0 standard.
