You didn't really give us a good picture of your setup. Which will help me (us) help you further. I.E. Are you running a firewall on Gentoo as well. How many interfaces (nics) do you have? What are the ip's specifically? Are dnscache and tinydns on the same machine? Basically, paint us a nice picture so that we don't have to guess.. :P Tinydns and Dnscache cannot be listening on the same ip address. > 1. I emerged djbdns > 2. I ran the dnscache and tinydns-setup config scripts I didn't like using the "dnscache-setup" and "tinydns-setup" scripts because they didn't seem to follow along with how the how-to's are layed out "directory wise" on djb's site. You didn't say what ip dnscache is listening on and you didn't say what ip tinydns is listening on? > 3. I ran 'rc-update add svscan default Not sure if you needed to do that or not. Thats what I was trying to find out from the other Gentoo users of djbdns. It seemed thats what I needed to do though. > 4. rebooted > > after dealing with some permission errors (I forgot to change the > group and > owner of the log dirs) all seems to go well. (however a ps -A shows > "supervise" running in six different proc) I think this is probably due to the fact that you used the setup scripts which I believe are paritial to Gentoo and not djbdns because I don't see those setup scripts talked about at all on his site. The fact that you have 6 supervise processes seems strange. Should be 4 as far as I know with your setup. > 5. Changed /etc/init.d/net.lo ip and gw to 192.168.0.0 Why did you do this and what does this have to do with setting up djbdns? Why would you gateway _anything_ to a "Network address" ?? I'm either confused or your confused here. We'll find out soon enough. :P > 6. Changed /etc/hosts to include a second entry for 192.168.0.0 that > reads > machinename.my-FQDN Again. Not sure why your doing all of this stuff. And again, I've never seen anyone ever map anything to a "Network address" > (however when I boot the machine it still says machinename.localhost) :p What were you expecting? :P > 7. following the instructions at http://www.lifewithdjbdns.com I get > the part > about editing the data for tinydns and the example it gives is > > #define the authoritative nameserver > .example.com::ns1.example.com > #mail exchanger > @example.com::mail.example.com > #IP for machine1,2,3,4,5 > =machine1.example.com:1.2.3.1 > =machine2.example.com:1.2.3.2 > =machine3.example.com:1.2.3.3 > =machine4.example.com:1.2.3.4 > =machine5.example.com:1.2.3.5 > #machine5 is also known as ns1 > +ns1.example.com:1.2.3.5 > #machine1 is our mailserver > +mail.example.com:1.2.3.1 > #and our webserver > +www.example.com:1.2.3.1 This is just a plain jane example. You need to do a little more reading is all. > My question is... is the IP addy my private network IP (192.168.0.0 ) > or my > static IP addy? Again. You should never be mapping anything to a "Network ip address" Network ip addy's describe/define just that. "Networks" Host Ip addresses describe/define "Hosts/machines" To get to www.yourdomain.com (hypothectically speaking) my machine needs to know the "ip (host/machine/server) address" to be able to route a connection to it. How is anyone suppose to get to www.yourdomain.com when it resolves to a network ip address? I will never get there. And neither will you. In What directories did the setup scripts create tinydns and dnscache? /var or /etc ?? Once I get a better Idea of where your coming from I will provide you with my setup you can use as an example and hopefully that will help. You might need to start over though. Which would take less than 10 mins once you have a solid game plan and I have a better understanding of your setup. JBanks P.S. I'm glad to see you opened your own thread.
