Execute the DNS (Dynamic Name Service) server daemon that converts host names to IP addresses and vice versa.

More information.

• Read the default configuration file `/etc/named.conf`, read any initial data and listen for queries:

named

• Read a custom configuration file:

named -c {path/to/named.conf}

• Use IPv4 or IPv6 only, even if the host machine is capable of utilising other protocols:

named {-4|-6}

• Listen for queries on a specific port instead of the default port 53:

named -p {port}

• Run the server in the foreground and do not daemonize:

named -f
