However, this obviously won't work to resolve addresses during the installation process, so if you're at that stage slap another NS's IP address in (obviously, make sure that (a) it responds to your queries and (b) you're permitted to use it). Then edit /etc/resolv.conf when everything is in place. There's nothing that says your resolver library needs to be configured to use your locally-running nameserver; it just seems the natural thing to do. jan -- jan grant, ILRT, University of Bristol. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44(0)117 9287163 Fax +44 (0)117 9287112 RFC822 jan.grant@bris.ac.uk Spreadsheet through network.
