My first attempts at implementing name resolution for hosts on the subnet failed. So I bought the book "TCP/IP Network Administration" by Craig Hunt. After about 3 or 4 hours of trial and error, I figured it out. It now works. I'd like to find out more about the differences been the book and the webpage as far as their examples are concerned. From an initial look, it appears as if the information contained in the webpage example is actually distributed across more files within the book example. Can anyone comment upon this first impression? Specifically, the book example contains nothing like this from the webpage: curly.my.domain. IN A 192.168.1.1 # The FreeBSD box larry.my.domain. IN A 192.168.1.2 # The Win'95 box BTW: I believe that the example given for mydomain.db contains an error. The comments should be prefixed with ; not # as shown on the line for shemp.mydomain and the previous three lines. Is that correct? -- Dan Langille DVL Software Limited http://www.dvl-software.com : for race timing solutions To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
