The ASP has asked us NOT to use their name server for = internet host resolution (which works right now but may not in the future= ) = and we have decided to transfer their zone to our servers so that our = clients can just continue to use our name servers and get the new hostnam= es. = PROBLEM A certain long distance company that begins with an "A" is more then 4 we= eks = behind in getting our WAN connected to the ASP's WAN via multiple T's. I= n = order to talk to the ASP's WAN we have to use DIALUP PPP in the interim. = = For every hour we are connected via PPP we are charged $5 (per connection= ) = so we need to transfer the zones and disconnect so we don't need to use = their nameservers. = My problem is this: How do I get my nameservers to dialup a PPP connection to transfer one zo= ne, = and then hangup, but continue to get all their other DNS information (and= = zones) via the permentant network connection? = One idea I had was to use IPFW to divert the ASP's nameserver's IP to PPP= = kind of like I what the "divert all any to any via NATD" command most use= = for NATDing... Is this the right approach? Is their another (easier) wa= y? = VANBO = ____________________________________________________________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=3D= 1 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
