I have two networked computers at home. One is FreeBSD, the other Win95.
I'm experimenting with a local network first before going into buisness.
I've set up a few named files, and for the most part it seems to work,
except that I can't resolve hostnames, and nslookup won't work on the
FreeBSD box. Here are the files:
hosts.conf:
order hosts,bind
alert on
nospoof on
multi on
1- hosts:
127.0.0.1 freebsdbox freebsdbox.mtzlplk.org
207.240.64.1 freebsdbox freebsdbox.mtzlplk.org
207.240.64.2 win95box win95box.mtzlplk.org
207.240.64.254 gateway gateway.mtzlplk.org
2- hosts.allow:
#
# hosts.allow This file describes the names of the hosts which are
# allowed to use the local INET services, as decided
# by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server.
#
207.240.64.1
207.240.64.2
3- hosts.deny has no entries (only a small local network...)
4- named.boot:
;
; a caching only nameserver config
;
directory /var/named
cache . named.ca
primary mtzlplk.org named.hosts
primary 240.207.in-adr.arpa named.rev
primary 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa named.local
5- named.local:
IN SOA localhost. root.localhost. (
1 ; Serial
28800 ; Refresh
300 ; Retry
3600000 ; Expire
86400 ) ; Minimum
IN NS localhost.
1 IN PTR localhost.
6- named.hosts:
@ IN SOA freebsdbox.mtzlplk.org. root.mtzlplk.org.
(
1 ; Serial
28800 ; Refresh
300 ; Retry
3600000 ; Expire
86400 ) ; Minimum
IN NS freebsdbox.mtzlplk.org
@ IN A 207.240.64.1
freebsdbox IN A 207.240.64.1
win95box IN A 207.240.64.2
localhost IN A 127.0.0.1
7- named.rev:
@ IN SOA freebsdbox.mtzlplk.org. root.mtzlplk.org.
(
1 ; Serial
28800 ; Refresh
300 ; Retry
3600000 ; Expire
86400 ) ; Minimum
IN NS freebsdbox.mtzlplk.org
1 IN PTR freebsdbox.mtzlplk.org
2 IN PTR win95box.mtzlplk.org
I left the named.ca file intact (seem to have no need for it anyways...)
Does anyone have any ideas on this? I'm sure it's a simple, trivial
detail to be fixed somewhere, but since I have little/no experience in
networking and unix-like OS'es (apart from being a user) this is
something
I've never had to deal with before...
Thanks!
Manu
