Liferay 6.0.6 Tomcat Bundle: Simple DNS Server for Intranet Test


DNS Server Role is required to support the use of a domain name instead of IP Address for accessing the Liferay Server machine in the Intranet. This role is available in Windows Server Family such as Windows Server 2003, 2008 and others.

For a simple intranet use, you may not require a full scale Windows Server. Instead you can use a third-party software like SimpleDNS Plus from http://www.simpledns.com/download.aspx. Alternatively, download here. Follow this tutorial to install the software, http://setup-steps.blogspot.com/2013/08/install-simple-dns-plus.html.

4) Follow step 2 to set the IP setting as follows: (notice that we are creating IP 10.1.1.21 that points to 10.1.1.20 for DNS reference)
