Being a former collage network admin, I can tell you that it will be next to impossible to get a DNS entry put on the core domain "collage.edu". Unless you have friends in the IT department there. I would suggest NOT saying anything to the IT department about your server, as this is probably a AUP violation, and puts you on the radar. If you can get the DNS entry, I would suggest they delegate the sub-domain to you. In bind, it would require two entries, a A record and NS record. bsdservr IN A your.server.ip freebsdserver IN NS bsdserver.campus.edu. Doing this would allow you to make sub-domains so you could have host1.freebsdserver.campus.edu host2.freebsd.campus.edu etc.. You will need to run your own DNS server to handle the delegation and resolution. -Erik- _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
