You put it in /etc/resolv.conf. Type "man resolv.conf" for detailed information. Basically, do something like this in /etc/resolv.conf domain your-domain-name nameserver ip-address-of-the-nameserver Notes: 1. Your domain name means JUST the domain name, not the host portion. So if your hostname is www.bigdomain.com, you would just enter bigdomain.com. 2. You must use the IP addresses of the name server and not the name. That's pretty self explanatory. 3. You may include more than one nameserver entry in resolv.conf if you have more than on nameserver. Each entry should be on a line by itself. For example: domain bigdomain.com nameserver 10.0.0.1 nameserver 10.0.0.2 Good luck, Kory > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Tony > Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2001 6:27 PM > To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: how to specifiy nameserver > > > If I am not running named locally, how do I specify using DSN on my ISP? > > I think that it's in one of the /etc/host* but I do not know which or the > format to add this. > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
