Hi folks, I use the default, Dachstein CD firewall...so I don't know the answer to this reply. Should I only have the 127.0.0.1 entry (doesn't Dachstein use tinydns?)...or should I use my LAN computers and my Dachstein firewall as resolvers and include the addresses of my appropriate DNS servers for better name resolution??? (P.S. My ISP is AT&T broadband, if that helps at all)
I received this answer to my post- The right answer to this question depends on how the router actually is doing DNS resolution. A. If it is running a DNS server (like tinydns or BIND), then it should have ONLY the entry for 127.0.0.1 as DNS0. B. If its resolver is supposed to use other hosts as DNS servers, then it should ONLY have entries for DNS0 and DNS1 (using each only once; they are environment variables, so a second use will replace the first, not supplement it)with the IP addresses of the DNS servers. BTW, this decision is separate from what your "Primary" and "secondary" DNS servers are. Those terms apply to authoritative DNS servers for a domain. The router only needs to know what to use as a resolver, not what is authoritative for your domain. They may be the same servers or they may be different -- it depends on the details of your setup. -- -----------------------------------------------"Never tell me the odds!"-------------- Ray Olszewski -- Han Solo Palo Alto, California, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Oh, it's good to be a geek. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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
