Maybe a secondary for `domain.com'. :-) Agreed. I also think a "cheat entry" should be made available, but I wouldn't mind some comments on this. I've got a config file that says: primary awfulhak.demon.co.uk awfulhak.demon.co.uk.zone primary 1.17.152.158.IN-ADDR.ARPA awfulhak.demon.co.uk.rev awfulhak.demon.co.uk.zone: @ IN SOA..... IN NS awfulhak.demon.co.uk. IN MX 1 awfulhak.org. IN MX 2 awfulhak.demon.co.uk. $ORIGIN demon.co.uk. awfulhak IN A 158.152.17.1 www.awfulhak IN A 195.11.146.11 awfulhak.demon.co.uk.rev: @ IN SOA..... IN NS awfulhak.demon.co.uk. IN MX 1 awfulhak.org. IN MX 2 awfulhak.demon.co.uk. IN PTR awfulhak.demon.co.uk. This is required with X so that my LAN can DNS lookup the hostname of my main machine. Is this a *really* bad thing to do anyone ? I'm not actually the primary for this machine, my ISP is, and the machine is part of a class B net. So who's going to do the deed ? Is it just a matter of changing src/etc/namedb/* and asking Jordan to update rc.conf ? > -- > cheers, J"org > > joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE > Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.org>, <brian@freebsd.org> <http://www.awfulhak.org>; Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
