Hi,
Yes I have thought of that. I ran into a few issues that I thought made the
solution cumbersome. Perhaps you solved these in a way that makes them
dissapear?
1) Need to always use fully qualified names (only a problem when there are
duplicates)
2) Need to bounce named a lot to avoid having records for networks that are
not currently connected to.
(perhaps sufficient to edit search line in resolv.conf each time a
network gets added/deleted.)
3) If the remote network consists of lots of subdomains the named config
becomes rather large.
