Hej LEAF-user,
no troubles since years (thank you all!!) but now I found a new phenomen and do not know how to handle - hope to find some help in here.... I'm running an older leaf box as router and firewall (3.1) and use a name-based rule in shorewall to filter some stuff, something like ACCEPT loc net:www.gmx.de all Now some weeks ago, the service from www.gmx.de (this is an example!) became unstable at the client and I finally found out that the IP behind the name www.gmx.de changes from time to time. Also, nslookup tells me something about a 'canonical name' which I didn't realize at other hosts: boris@nl-tp-boris:~$ nslookup www.gmx.de Server: 192.168.25.254 Address: 192.168.25.254#53 Non-authoritative answer: www.gmx.de canonical name = www.g-ha.gmx.net. Name: www.g-ha.gmx.net Address: 82.165.230.18 boris@nl-tp-boris:~$ nslookup www.gmx.de Server: 192.168.25.254 Address: 192.168.25.254#53 Non-authoritative answer: www.gmx.de canonical name = www.g-ha.gmx.net. Name: www.g-ha.gmx.net Address: 82.165.229.46 Can anybody give me a hint on how to get on with this? Thank you very much!
