The router connected to my server reports DNS inquiries like "myserver.example.com.example.com" which obviously leads nowhere The server is in a SOHO situation connected to a router which is connected to DSL; the server runs 6.3 Release and will serve as mailserver for the few in-house employees and as a webserver. The domain "example.com" is registered with Dyndns.org who also run the "Custom DNS service". The DNS entries were checked with Dyndns.org staff and found in accordance with the purpose. During installation of the server, the hostname "myserver.example.com" and the domain name "example.com" were entered in the appropiate Sysinstall dialog . /etc/hosts shows: ::1 localhost.example.com localhost 127.0.0.1 localhost.example.com localhost 192.168.1.13 myserver.example.com myserver 192.168.1.13 myserver.example.com. 192.168.1.13 is allocated to the server by the DHCP of the router; this IP address is fixed though!! Table /etc/resolv.com reads: domain example.com nameserver 192.168.1.1 (my router's IP address I postponed installation of Postfix and Apache as I feel that host- and domainname should be configured correctly to prevent accumulating trouble. Remarks a most appreciated. -- Walter --home | help
