Here's a rough outline of how you might redirect "antitheft.laptop.org" with djbdns on Debian Lenny. I can't promise that it's bulletproof, but it seems to do approximately the right thing in simple testing. sudo su - apt-get install djbdns useradd -s /bin/false dnslog useradd -s /bin/false tinydns useradd -s /bin/false dnscache export YOUR_IP=... # create empty dnscache and tinydns configurations dnscache-conf dnscache dnslog /etc/dnscache tinydns-conf tinydns dnslog /etc/tinydns 127.0.0.1 # tell dnscache where to bind, when to reply, and to proxy queries for at.l.o echo $YOUR_IP > /etc/dnscache/env/IP touch /etc/dnscache/root/ip/10 # answer 10.0.0.0/24 echo 127.0.0.1 > /etc/dnscache/root/servers/antitheft.laptop.org # give tinydns a zone containing at.l.o cd /etc/tinydns/root ./add-ns antitheft.laptop.org $YOUR_IP ./add-host antitheft.laptop.org $YOUR_IP make # tell supervise to run our services; see also "update-service" on debian ln -s /etc/dnscache /etc/service ln -s /etc/tinydns /etc/service # check that we're running and bound to proper ports svstat /etc/dnscache /etc/tinydns netstat -nulp | grep ':53 ' # read logs tail -f /etc/dnscache/log/main/current cat /etc/tinydns/log/main/current | tai64nlocal | less # optional -- resolve against your local dnscache echo domain schoolserver > /etc/resolv.conf echo nameserver $YOUR_IP >> /etc/resolv.conf Questions? Michael P.S. - Is there a wiki page where this sort of thing is supposed to go? _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list server-de...@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
