I have a local network, consisting of three machines, one of which is a FreeBSD machine running as a firewall/NAT thingie. 2. The firewall is connected to the net through a dial up modem. 3. The LAN is set up on 192.168.0.x/24 What I want to do is have a bogus domain, like "family.bog" (a new TLD invented just for bogus sites like mine :-), with the other machines on the LAN having names such as "pepsi.family.bog" and "coke.family.bog". In my perfect world, the firewall would have a named running that would be a domain master for the bogus network, would cache "real" addresses, and just generally, DTRT. I've had *some* success with this, but I cannot get the nameserver to quit forcing dial-outs, keeping the modem connected almost 24/7. Ok, so: 1) How come the named program keeps dialing out? 2) How can I prevent this? 3) Are nameservers designed to run only on full time systems? 4) Is there a better way of doing this? -- Keith Walker kew@icehouse.net PGP Key: http://www.icehouse.net/kew/public-key.pgp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
