Russian domain names in Bind9

Question

linux

Is it possible, and if so, how, to set up Bind9 with Russian domain names?

Answer 1

Can. You just need to learn how to write a domain name in a Punycode representation to a zone file. For example, using the http://mct.verisign-grs.com/index.shtml service. And then put the name in punycode in the zone file:

$ORIGIN .

Answer 2

Russian domain names don't really exist, the browser just shows russia.rf/ instead of the normal xn--h1alffa9f.xn--p1ai/

Answer 3

it’s possible, it’s been working for me for a long time, for view internal it’s been a year already, for tests I did it. Now it works outside, after delegation of domains. You have already been told about punikod, and you need to write it in the config.
Hint: I personally call the zone file not punycode. and transliteration, it's easier to administer, i.e. not xn--h1alffa9f.xn--p1ai, but domain.RF

Answer 4

In DNS, they are written in punycode, only in Latin letters.
