Greetings, am running 4.3-release. Have been trying to install/configure qmail, which has lead me to DNS. Our internal LAN does not use DNS for name resolution. We have hosts files that are populated with machine addresses and names. Not the best, but working. I have been thinking about setting up the following: setup a machine on our internal LAN to be the primary DNS for our private IP's (192.168.1.x). (Our lan is connected to the internet through a gateway running FreeBSD 4.0 with ppp -auto -nat. So, currently the network clients have our ISP's primary & secondary DNS servers setup on their machine.) This new DNS server would resolve our local private IP's and forward any unknowns to our ISP's primary DNS server. Is this possible? Is there any online pointers/tutorials for this ? thanks, Darryl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
