Hi! I'm having problems setting up named. What I want to do is to set named up so that the domains *.ariel.com are translated to the IP address 127.0.0.* (locally on my computer) For example: a IN A 127.0.0.1 b IN A 127.0.0.2 c IN A 127.0.0.3 and so on... (a.ariel.com should be translated to 127.0.0.1, b.ariel.com to 127.0.0.2, and so on) I configured named to do the reverse translation (to get the domain name, by means of the IP number), and it works Ok, but I couldn't use it for doing the "forward" translations. I updated the named.boot file and the named.conf and pointed the ones I put in /var/named in these files. I've read "TCP/IP Illustrated" (Stevens) chapter about the DNS, and have read some FAQs and HOWTOs, but I couldn't make it work. If anyone could give me any help, it'd be much appreciated. [If you have any config files for doing what I'm trying to do, I'd be glad to receive them in at fgont@softhome.net , so that I could have a look at them] Thank you very much in advance, Fernando Ariel Gont e-mail: fgont@softhome.net Greetings, Fernando Ariel Gont e-mail: fgont@softhome.net Web-site: http://members.xoom.com/gont Web-site: http://www.ingroup.com.ar/fgont ISK site: http://members.xoom.com/iskcgi "Show me your flowcharts and conceal your tables, and I shall continue to be mystified.
