Is it possible to setup the DNS daemon when your are dynamically assigned an IP address. I'm pretty sure I can set it up using the handbook... I just didn't want to waste my time if I should first have a static IP. ----- and a side question/furure refrence: in the hand book it gives this under <17.9.6.3 Zone Files> (is the zone file generated from the named.conf file? or do I have to make it?) ; Machine Names localhost IN A 127.0.0.1 ns1 IN A 3.2.1.2 ns2 IN A 3.2.1.3 mail IN A 3.2.1.10 @ IN A 3.2.1.30 localhost I get.. umm when it comes to 3.2.1.2,3,10,30 i get a tad confused.. my config one of my NICs inet = 10.0.0.1 is that equiv to saying 3.2.1.2 (knowing that this address is obviously not real) So will i be setting up some vhosts in my rc.conf to handle ns1,ns2 mail, @? eg: 10.0.0.20 would be a vhost that i would use to replace ns1 IP in above zone file example?
