Is it possible to setup a private DNS for my PC with 2 VPS Servers?
Currently i'm using the dns from my ISP, but i want my own private one

    What you put in there are normal public DNS-Servers. This option just disables the DHCP-DNS. What you do is: install a DNS-Server on one of your PCs and give it an internal IP. And put that internal IP in the settings of the two PCs.

    Ugh...

    I want my OWN Private DNS, you understand?
    I want to use 2 VPS Servers, and put those IP's in there

    But What do i need to install on the VPS to get the DNS working?

    That's called recurrsive DNS. You will want to check out MaraDNS and Unbound. But do bear in mind if your home has high latency to your VPS it might slow down your internet experiences.

    Do you want your own resolver?

    Most people don't use Windows Server.

    Setup BIND or something.

    You can use something like DNSMASQ or BIND, but you'd still be using forwarders (ie: another DNS provider).

    Actually, I just explained you how to do so.

    I said Windows Server

    Joodle was posting that screenshot probably from his home PC.

    @Joodle why do you want to setup your own resolvers, your slow down your browsing.

    I think that's pretty much like a tutorial for setting up an authoritative DNS, though yes, BIND can be set-up as a recursive DNS server.

    Use wine :D

    @DanielM said: Look at the screenshot

    That's his home PC ;-)
    Joodle essentially wants to create 2 DNS servers (using his Linux VPS boxes) for his home (Windows) system.

    Using your own DNS resolver will slow down your internet due to non-optimal result queries for CDNs and caching.

    So, use Wine to run a DNS server when UNIX clearly has native DNS servers that are in every way superior to Window's DNS servers.

    That makes sense.

    "superior" This is simply your own opinon i use this software and its fast. just as good as linux if not better.

    btw sorry for my spelling mistakes not had much sleep :(

    OH!, i thought my own private dns, wich no one uses would be much faster

    Nope. For example Youtube (and many other CDN providers) have servers located directly at your ISP (or close to it) to give you an optimal latency and bandwidth. When you use your provider's DNS server Youtube videos will be loaded from these servers.
    However when you use your own DNS server Youtube can't know your provider and will give you the IP of the server closest to your DNS server, not your home connection.

    Basically what gsrdgrdghd said. There's really no point in getting your own private DNS server to use.

    I use powerdns recursor http://doc.powerdns.com/built-in-recursor.html
    apt-get install pdns-recursor on debian.
    Though i have it running on localhost. But you can edit /etc/powerdns/recursor.conf and allow your ip in allow-from.
    It's really easy to setup.
