Hello. I'm using the dns service on a router box. This router does provide dns service, on which every computer in the LAN has a local domain name (computername.our.lan) Now the built in dns server's function is limited; it does not relay MX type of record. Thus sending mail using sendmail always get hostname lookup failure. 1. If I change my name server address in resolv.conf to use my ISP's dns server, I cannot access lan computers using local hostnames. 2. If I use our dns server, I cannot send mails through sendmail. So what should I do? Can I ask sendmail to use ISP's dns server, while the rest programs use local dns server? _________________________________________________________________ 与联机的朋友进行交流，请使用 MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com/cn
