A WinXP box, a Mac OS X box, Mandrake Linux workstation and a FreeBSD workstation. Earthlink is my ISP and they have 3 DNS servers. I want to set my Linux and FreeBSD boxes up as local DNS servers so I figured I would just add their IPs to the list of nameservers bringing that up to a total of 5 nameservers that OS X or XP could resolve to. Then someone told me most resolvers only check the first 3 entries anyway. Does anyone know if this is true or not? Thanks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- God created a universal solvent, but could not find anything to put it in. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
