Apple AppleShare IP 6.3 - Manual (Page 28)

28 Chapter 2
You can either contact a service provider to register your server’s domain name, or you can
set up your own domain name server. You can use any standard DNS server software on your
network. If you don’t have DNS server software, you can use MacDNS, an application that
comes with AppleShare IP. (If you plan to use MacDNS, for best performance you should
consider installing it on a computer other than the AppleShare IP server.)
MacDNS software is located in the MacDNS folder in the AppleShare IP folder on your
server’s desktop. Instructions for installing and setting up DNS are in the MacDNS
Administrator’s Guide, a PDF file located in the MacDNS folder. The guide also contains
information about how the domain name system works, and the notation that’s used for
domain names and IP addresses.
