I am trying to install snort from a "how-to" on the snort website. It uses mysql,acid,apache and snort with the OS being freebsd 4.6. It looks very straight forward to follow, but another tech and I cannot seem to understand what we are doing wrong. We don't have a DNS server on site.The plan is to put the snort box between the internet firewall and the LAN. The firewall is also the dhcp server. So exactly what do we want to put for a qualified domain name?? The plan is to put the snort box between the internet firewall and the LAN. The firewall is also the dhcp server. Problem is that the OS says it cannot resolve the hostname. Similar problems come later with mysql..... I have looked at several lists and books on the subject but not turning up a lot of information related to my problem. I know this can't be that hard. We would appreciate any guidance.
