In this tutorial we learn how to install bind on Fedora 34.
What is bind
BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is an implementation of the DNS (Domain Name System) protocols. BIND includes a DNS server (named), which resolves host names to IP addresses; a resolver library (routines for applications to use when interfacing with DNS); and tools for verifying that the DNS server is operating properly.
We can use yum or dnf to install bind on Fedora 34. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install bind.
