Regarding the previous thread about the DNS problems. I seem to suffer (I think) the same configuration problems. # nslookup myhost.dyndns.org Server: localhost Address: 127.0.0.1 Non-authoritative answer: Name: myhost.dyndns.org Address: 207.162.101.21 # nslookup localhost Server: localhost Address: 127.0.0.1 Name: localhost.dyndns.org Address: 127.0.0.1 # The fact that I have a dynamic IP, and that I use dyndns.org services sure gives me trouble, but there's surely a way to get over this. Is there some good DNS tutorial or doc out there? I have the following relevant config in named and such: /etc/resolv.conf: nameserver 127.0.0.1 /etc/namedb/named.conf: options { directory "/var/namedb"; }; zone "." { type hint; file "named.root"; }; zone "0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA" { type master; file "localhost.rev"; }; logging { channel sys_secure { syslog auth; severity info; }; category default { default_syslog; default_debug; }; category security { sys_secure; default_syslog; default_debug; }; }; /var/namedb/localhost.rev: ; From: @(#)localhost.rev 5.1 (Berkeley) 6/30/90 ; $FreeBSD: src/etc/namedb/PROTO.localhost.rev,v 1.4.2.1 1999/08/29 14:19:29 pet er Exp $ ; ; This file is automatically edited by the `make-localhost' script in ; the /etc/namedb directory. ; @ IN SOA myhost.dyndns.org. root.myhost.dyndns.org.
