Set your internal boxes to use your ISP's DNS? Make sure you have the nameservers set in /etc/resolv.conf on the BSD box as well? The way I have my NAT box setup, is just to provide filtering/forwarding. I set my internal machines (3 windows, 1 bsd, 1 debian) to hit my ISP's DNS nameservers by IP address. I found that it's MUCH faster just to go that route, instead of trying to forward the lookups and stuff. -Adam -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Greg MATTHEWS Sent: Tuesday, February 06, 2001 9:09 AM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: dns lookup with ppp -nat how can i get my -nat'ed machines to use my isp dns? do i have to run a dns server on the nat box? seems excessive as i only have 2 machines at home (possibly 3 later). current setup: freebsd on i386 running ppp -nat and netbsd on sparc classic. the classic can access outside using ip numbers but wont perform dns lookups. cheers GREG To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
