Hi all; Up until now, I've never really had any need to play around with named (beyond configuring it to do local lookups). I am going to need to do virtual hosting for some of my customers quite soon, and I find I need a bit of advice in setting up the config files. My ISP is currently providing all the DNS resolution I need for the moment. (And, their name servers have authority over my domain). They are only providing basic DNS services, though. So, I want to add a few more hosts to my domain (eg, NEWHOST.sasknow.com), as well as do virtual hosting for other domain names. I've got 8 IP addresses, from x.y.z.96 through x.y.z.103. I'd like to set up .102 and .103 as primary and secondary nameservers. (NS1.SASKNOW.COM NS2.SASKNOW.COM, for lack of better names :) My big question: Is there a way for me to easily (and safely) TEST my configuration of named without breaking the functionality of my ISPs setup? (i.e., I don't want to take over authority for my domain name until I'm SURE I've got it right :-) Hmm... Maybe I could "invent" a bogus domain name and try requests on the local machine? Hmm... :-) Thanks! To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
