When I had this (?) problem, it turned out that linux clients needed an explicit "nameserver 127.0.0.1" line in /etc/resolv.conf, but FreeBSD clients implicitly default to localhost. After adding that line, linux clients could do DNS lookups. $.02, /Mikko -- Mikko Työläjärvi_______________________________________mikko@rsasecurity.com RSA Security To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
