Hi, Please reply to webmaster@funkltd.COM I have been using freeBSD at ny home to test the validity of using it for our webserver. Right now I am trying to configure DNS for the two computers in my lan, which are mine and a house mates. My house mates computer (a windows box) is pointed to my box (the freeBSD box) for internet access, (ppp -alias -auto demand). All this is working quite well. I read all the on line docs about building a small DNS server for the LAN, and I think they may be out of date (963012 was the exaple serial). Trying to boot the example file provided at freeBSD.org with all the correct params gave only sytax errors when trying to start named. Next, read all the man pages for named and bind looking for answers and made a localhost.rev with typical evtries for SOA, added the ip address of this box as 127.0.0.1 in /etc/resolv.conf. The nameserver still appears not to be working. Please point me in the direction of updated on line docs, or tell me what I have forgotten or am doing wrong : - ) The exact domain I am trying to make this box authoritative for (as far as the LAN is concerned anyway) is my.domain. and the two IP addys are 192.168.200.2 and 192...200.3.
