On Linux I can simply echo /proc/1 to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/accept_redirects. How is this done in FreeBSD? My router is giving me errors because BIND won't accept the redirects. > > Jan 30 06:28:49 raven /kernel: arplookup 10.2.0.1 failed: host is not on local network > Maybe take a look at: sysctl -a | grep icmp net.inet.icmp.maskrepl: 0 net.inet.icmp.icmplim: 200 net.inet.icmp.drop_redirect: 0 net.inet.icmp.log_redirect: 0 net.inet.icmp.bmcastecho: 0 But I don't understand what BIND has to do with icmp redirects. And because the arplookup doesn't work it looks like something else on your network is not configured right. Maybe you know this, but to be sure: arp lookups don't have anything to do with dns lookups. Arp lookups are to find the ethernet address of the host with an ip address. So, in your case 10.2.0.1 is not answering the request for its ethernet address. > Thanks, > Richard Ward > mh@maKintosh.com Greetings, Ronald. -- Ronald Klop http://www.cs.vu.nl/~ronald/ pgp-key: http://klop.yi.org/pgp.txt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
