However, I have # tried a few different things and I cannot seem to get it configured and # running correctly. To start named at startup, make sure that you have the following in /etc/rc.conf: named_enable="YES" # 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. Thanks in advance! For the DNS server to be accessible to the public Internet, you need to first open port tcp/53 on your router to the DNS server on the private side. If you want to or have a registered domain, just setup the registration at InterNIC (or whomever you register the domain with) to point to the public IP Address of the DNS server. -- Linh Pham [lplist@closedsrc.org] # Every solution breeds new problems To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
