OK Brad. I've put tinydns on. I left the tinydns option for internal IP at 127.0.0.1
Is this the proper loopback interface address? -----Original Message----- From: Brad Fritz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 4:42 AM To: John Mullan Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [leaf-user] Using HOSTS file On Thu, 06 Jun 2002 00:09:38 PDT Ray Olszewski wrote: > Jeff's response is the right one here -- the router (or some other host on > the LAN) needs to run a DNS server that resolves FQNs of hosts on the LAN > to their private addresses and forwards all other requests to a "real" > nameserver.

If you want to do it on your LEAF router, it's not *too* bad to setup using tinydns and dnscache. One setup that has worked for me is to run tinydns bound to the router's loopback interface and dnscache bound to the internal interface. Files in /etc/dnscache/root/servers/ are used to point dnscache to tinydns for the internal hosts. The names and addresses of those hosts (or just your firewall, if that's all you need) are set in /etc/tinydns-private/root/data. If you decide to pursue the tinydns/dnscache setup and need more detail or have specific questions, let me know (on-list) and I'll do my best to answer. The djbdns docs and the Bering tinydns.lrp and dnscache.lrp documents[1,2] might also be useful even if you are using a LEAF variant other than Bering. --Brad [1] http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/tinydns.html [2] http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/dnscache.html _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
