This is more of a question concerning how the dns hierarchy works rather then fbsd as a dns server. I have register a domain name, "domain.com" at directnic.com and I have a fbsd server at an isp assigned with an ip. I don=B4t know if anyone of you is familiar with directnic.com but it can b= e configured to act like Network Solution. At least it says so in the directnic faq. How do I make "domain.com" to point to my assigned ip at my isp? Is it enough to use the future at directnic.com that let me type in the two dns servers at my isp? Is any configuration of the dns servers at my ip necessary? And can I have a dns server at my fbsd box that let me assign domain names like "www.domain.com" or "ftp.domain.com" etc.. Should my dns server in that case point to the dns servers my isp uses? /P=E4r To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
