Dear all, How do I configure named to initiate a DNS query to the forwarder on names in the form <hostname>.<domain>, but not on sole hostnames. In other words: how do I avoid my firewall to pick up the phone and call the University when all I did was make a type error and I typed `oriom' instead of `orion'. The network is an odd-ball collection of machines, with one running DNS, and another playing firewall, dialing on demand. A machine at the University plays forwarder for the local DNS server, through the firewall. Another question (while I'm at it). Could someone explain the `check-names' entries in named.boot? I thought it might be related to my previous question, if only I could understand the explanation in the manual pages... Please CC me, I`m not on the list.
