RE: Automatically maintaining dns server addresses from an externalrouter

2004-03-07 Thread Edmund Craske
Well, the upstream DNS servers you use from your ISP are quite unlikely to have a change of IP address, and with the way that BIND works, when you set up forwarders, it checks them first, then runs its queries to the root servers if it can't get through. You could also configure it just to use

That's a keymap thing... Depends on your keyboard layout, I'm not sure what the au layout is, but if it's anything like the UK one, it's the opposite way round to the default US keyboard layout for those keys, amongst other things. The easiest way of setting your keymap is probably with

I guess that 's what so confusing. Who would benefit using RELENG_4_9_0_RELEASE? Noone really, except for diagnosis purposes. It's just a tag to mark the release of 4.9, so more an administrative reference than of everyday use. Ed ___ [EMAIL

There's something wrong with the rc.conf stuff for named if you install the bind9 port over the base bind8 (by doing a make -DPORT_REPLACES_BASE_BIND9 install clean in dns/bind9) because of differences in command line arguments. Of course, you could just work it out and hash it together, or
