Hi all... I'm having a small problem in that my box is 'not capable' of reverse DNS. I'm running v3.3. The university gave me the IP's of a couple of DNS servers which we have access to. If I log into those boxes and do an nslookup, it works both ways - name-->ip and ip-->name. Not so on my home box. I have both those DNS machines listed in /etc/rc.resolv, and even threw in an additional DNS I know is nearby (according to the dox that file maxes at 3 lines, correct?) The question - is there something that needs to be configured some place to enable reverse DNS? Odds are I need to provide additional information off my system - just let me know what it is :) Thanks in advance!!!! --John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
