The server's IP behind the router is 10.0.0.102. 4 - I want to be able to use that server as a name server. However, I have tried a few different things and I cannot seem to get it configured and running correctly. 5 - My /etc/rc.conf file has a line that says: ifconfig_fxp0="inet 10.0.0.102 netmask 255.255.255.0" Can someone offer general tips or even specific tips if you can, to how I should set this all up. i.e. Should I use DHCP to assign IP addresses via the router or not? What about the IP addresses? How does the name server get recognized by the outside world? What should my rc.conf files look like? I'm currently reading through O' Reilly's book on DNS and BIND, but I'd like some interactive feedback as well.
